Catches five passes in win Sims caught each of his five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.
Impact Sims played every single snap on offense for a second straight week, making his 10th consecutive start to close out the season. He averaged 62.3 snaps but only 4.5 targets in those 10 starts, catching 29 of 45 passes for 438 yards. While he should keep his starting job for the playoffs, Sims figures to face competition in the offseason.

Slowed by Eagles McKissic had two carries for no gain and five catches for 30 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.
Impact Antonio Gibson took on more work in his second game back from a toe injury, handling 20 touches and a 59 percent snap share. McKissic still managed to tie Terry McLaurin for the team lead in targets, and Washington may need to use its scatback more in a wild-card game against the Bucs and their fearsome run defense.

Upgrades to limited participation Smith (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It's an upgrade from Tuesday when Smith was listed as a non-participant on the estimated practice report (Washington didn't actually hold a practice). He'll likely get another start in the wild-card round against Tampa after he returned for Week 17, but coach Ron Rivera did suggest Tuesday that Taylor Heinicke could also get some snaps at quarterback. Smith struggled in the Week 17 win over Philadelphia, throwing a pair of interceptions while displaying little-to-no mobility.

Looking good for Saturday Gibson (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gibson played through the same injury the past two weeks, including 20 touches and 59 percent snap share in the Week 17 win over Philadelphia. He gets a tough matchup in the wild-card round, facing a Bucs defense that led the league in both rushing yards allowed (80.6 per game) and opponent YPC (3.6).

Limited in practice McLaurin (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McLaurin didn't practice at all last week and was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated report. He's now ahead of where he was at the same time last week before he went on to catch seven of eight targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the division-clinching win over Philadelphia. McLaurin, Alex Smith (calf) and Antonio Gibson (toe) are banged up, but all three appear likely to continue playing through their injuries in Saturday's wild-card game against Tampa Bay.

Gets in work on side Gibson (toe) worked with the training staff on the side during Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gibson played through a turf toe injury Weeks 16 and 17, racking up 136 yards on 29 rushes (4.7 YPC) and hauling in four of five targets for 14 yards. He didn't log any practice reps last week before suiting up for the regular-season finale, so he doesn't necessarily have to take part in drills this week to be cleared for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Buccaneers. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not Gibson made an appearance on the practice field.
JANUARY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Works out on side field Wednesday McLaurin (ankle) took part in the team stretch before going to a side field during Wednesday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Impact McLaurin didn't practice at all last week while managing a high-ankle sprain, but he still suited up in the regular-season finale, logging 81 percent of the offensive snaps en route to seven catches (on eight targets) for 40 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's win over the Eagles. He was a non-participant Tuesday, and if his activity level Wednesday is any indication, he seems poised to be listed the same way on the official practice report.

Taking first-team reps Wednesday Heinicke took reps with the first-team offense at the beginning of Wednesday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Meanwhile, Alex Smith (calf) seems set to go down as a non-participant for a second consecutive session. Head coach Ron Rivera hasn't ruled out the possibility of incorporating a quarterback rotation for Saturday's wild-card matchup with Buccaneers, so the fact Heinicke is getting reps with the first team may forecast what's to come this weekend. In his sole appearance of the season Week 16 against the Panthers, Heinicke completed 12 of 19 passes for 137 yards and one touchdown while compiling 22 more yards on three carries.
