Receives X-ray Curl (knee) suffered something akin to a knee hyperextension according to head coach Ron Rivera, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Suffers knee injury Curl is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants after suffering a knee injury.
Impact Curl was carted off the field in the second half with the injury, so it's likely that his season has come to a close. Prior to exiting the contest, Curl recorded three tackles with a pass defended.

Returns from COVID list Curl (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Impact Curl was placed on the COVID-19 list last week, but he's now back on the active roster after clearing the health and safety protocols. He should reclaim his starting role at free safety for Washington this weekend at Dallas.

Placed on COVID-19 list Curl was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Impact It's not yet clear whether Curl has tested positive for COVID-19 or whether he's considered a close contact, but he's unlikely to clear the league's protocols ahead of Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia since he was placed on the list late in the week. If he's ultimately held out in Week 15, Bobby McCain will likely take on a starting role.

First sack of season Curl recorded four solo tackles and one sack in Monday's 17-15 win over the Seahawks.
Impact Curl has had a quiet season so far, and has not had a game with double-digit tackles. However, the second-year safety was on the field for every defensive snap, which appears to be a common theme every week. Coming off his first year as one of the better rookies in the NFL, Curl has seen a slight dip in tackle opportunities after the return of Landon Collins, which renders him obsolete in shallower IDP formats.

Records eight tackles in win Curl had eight tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed in Washington's 29-19 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Impact Curl has been a steady presence in the Washington secondary this season. His eight tackles bring his 2021 total to 53, and he now has three passes defensed on the season. The 22-year-old will look to keep building on his sophomore season in Week 11 against Carolina.

Produces seven tackles Curl registered seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Broncos.
Impact Curl has 45 tackles, two pass deflections and one fumble recovery across eight appearances this season. However, when compared to his rookie campaign -- 88 tackles, three interceptions, two sacks and one defensive touchdown -- his production this year has been meager. Nonetheless, the 22-year-old safety is still worthy of IDP consideration -- particularly in deeper leagues -- due to his tackle volume.
NOVEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Plays every snap Curl had nine tackles (seven solo) and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Curl handled an every-down defensive role for the first time all season, and he was productive for IDP purposes with his opportunities. Now that the second-year pro appears to have secured such a large role, he could be an interesting fantasy option against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 7.

Records nine tackles Curl posted nine tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 43-21 loss to the Bills.
Impact Bobby McCain out-snapped Curl in Week 1, but that didn't last long, as Curl handled at least 75 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last two games. Curl proved it as a rookie in 2020 with 88 stops through 16 games (11 starts), but he still has just 15 tackles this year. Fellow safety Landon Collins probably has an edge for fantasy purposes at this time.

Emerges as rookie starter Curl finished his 2020 rookie season with 88 tackles (63 solo), four pass defenses, three interceptions and two sacks in 16 games.
Impact The seventh-round pick made 11 starts and finished second on the team in tackles, handling a three-down role from Week 9 onward. He averaged 7.9 tackles over his final nine games of the regular season, then added seven more tackles in the playoff loss to Tampa Bay. PFF graded Curl at No. 28 out of 94 qualified safeties, further cementing his status as a starting-caliber player. He and Landon Collins (Achilles) could give Washington a formidable duo at safety in 2021, assuming the veteran makes a smooth recovery from his season-ending injury. Curl's IDP value could take a hit with Collins healthy, as the 27-year-old's comfort level playing up in the box could force his teammate into more snaps as a deep safety.

Keeps churning out tackles Curl posted eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 20-15 loss to Washington.
Impact The rookie seventh-round pick continues to fill in admirably for Landon Collins (Achilles), who is on IR. Curl made his seventh straight start and his ninth of the season Sunday. Since becoming a full-time starter, Curl has averaged 8.6 tackles per game, adding two sacks, two pass breakups and a pick-six in that stretch.

Strong tackling continues Curl posted eight tackles (seven solo) in Monday's 23-17 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Curl has taken on a much larger role in the second half of the season, registering at least right tackles in each of his last five games after recording no more than three tackles in any of his first seven games. The rookie seventh-round pick has cemented himself as Washington's starting strong safety.

Leads team in tackles Sunday Curl recorded nine tackles (five solo) across 68 defensive reps in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
Impact The seventh-round rookie from Arkansas has been a playmaker on Washington's defense over the past three weeks, recording 29 tackles and two sacks during that span. Since Landon Collins (Achilles) has been ruled out, Curl has played in 100 percent of the defensive snaps for Washington. He'll look to continue his great rookie campaign on Thursday in Dallas.

Gets sack, leads team in tackles Curl collected 11 total tackles, including one sack during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Giants.
Impact The seventh-round rookie was one of Washington's most fierce defenders in his seventh start of 2020, obliterating his previous game high of three tackles. Curl contributed two of Washington's nine QB hits on Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones, but the typically turnover-prone Jones was able to avoid any giveaways during Week 9.

Starting role on tap Curl will start at strong safety following news that Landon Collins (torn Achilles) is done for the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Football Team selected Curl in the seventh round of April's draft after the 21-year-old spent three years as a starter for Arkansas. Curl immediately secured a role in Washington's defense, logging more than 30 percent of the defensive workload in five of seven games and recording 17 tackles (12 solo). Now, he's set to bump into a starting role that could pay major dividends for fantasy managers in IDP settings. Collins was on pace for a third straight 100-tackle season, and while Curl isn't of the same caliber, he could produce similar numbers at the position. He's worth a flier in deeper leagues, although Washington will be on bye Week 8.
