With over 20 players from the Washington Football Team on the NFL’s reserve/Covid-list, multiple sources are reporting that the league is expected to move the Eagles game to Tuesday night.
Seahawks at Rams switched to Tuesday at 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT, per sources.

As the number of WFT players assumed to be unavailable for Sunday grew larger as the week went on, this move was an inevitability, and should allow a handful of vaccinated players to clear protocol before a Tuesday kickoff.
The league is also expected to move the Browns-Raiders matchup to Monday, along with the Rams-Seahawks matchup likely being moved to Tuesday.

The NFL isn’t the only sports league experiencing renewed troubles with Covid, and while I would be surprised if these are the final set of schedule adjustments, let’s hope they can get this problem under control before the playoffs start next month.
