Tests positive for coronavirus Ioannidis (biceps) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 • WASHINGTONTIMES.COM
Done for 2020 season Ioannidis suffered a torn biceps in Sunday's 34-20 loss to Cleveland and will miss the rest of the season, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Ioannidis isn't a starter, but he still plays about half of the defensive snaps in each game as a fill-in for Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne. This will hurt Washington's depth on the defensive line going forward, and Tim Settle will have to take on a larger workload moving forward. Ioannidis finished with seven tackles and 1.5 sacks this season.

Done for day Ioannidis (arm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Cleveland, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Impact It's unclear how Ioannidis suffered the injury, but the concern is that it's serious, especially considering he was immediately ruled out. With the Temple product sidelined, Tim Settle is in line to take over the depth defensive tackle snaps.

Records 1.5 sacks in opener Ioannidis logged four tackles, four quarterback hits and 1.5 sacks Sunday in Washington's 27-17 win over the Eagles.
Impact The Washington defensive front took full advantage of an injury-ravaged Eagles offensive line in the season opener, totaling eight sacks on the day. Ioannidis' pass-rush production might have been the most impressive of the lot, considering he led the team in QB hits while playing an interior spot and seeing the field for only 30 of Washington's 68 defensive snaps (44.1 percent). He'll continue to receive rotational work as part of an impressive four-man group at tackle that includes two recent first-round picks (Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne) and Tim Settle.
