Everett was placed on the non-football illness list Tuesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett will miss the start of Washington's training camp due to an undisclosed illness. He missed six games at the end of last season with a pectoral injury but it remains unclear if this current ailment is related.

Everett (pectoral) started six of his 11 games in 2020, recording 31 tackles (23 solo), four pass defenses and a forced fumble on 355 defensive snaps.

EDGE Analysis

Everett opened the season seeing nearly all of his work on special teams, after playing only 173 defensive snaps in 23 games between 2018 and 2019. He then moved into a starting job Week 6, taking over for a slumping Troy Apke at free safety. A week later, strong safety Landon Collins suffered a torn Achilles, opening up a spot for rookie Kamren Curl alongside Everett. The seventh-round pick became an IDP asset, while Everett averaged only 4.7 tackles in six starts before suffering a season-ending injury (pectoral) of his own. He'll turn 29 in February and has two seasons remaining on his contract, but there is some chance Washington releases Everett this offseason -- a move that would clear out approximately $1.4 million in cap space.

Washington placed Everett (pectoral) on injured reserve Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington's placement on IR rules him out for the final three weeks of the regular season. Coach Ron Rivera disclosed that Everett is dealing with a pec injury, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. The 28-year-old wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he was forced out of last weekend's game against the 49ers with a chest issue.

Everett (chest) was absent from Wednesday's injury report, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett left Sunday's game against the 49ers with the chest issue, but as evidenced by this news, the injury was nothing serious. Now cleared of injury, expect Everett to assume his usual starting safety role for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Everett (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Troy Apke and Jeremy Reaves could handle increased roles on defense as long as Everett remains sidelined. He was forced out of Sunday's game with a chest injury during the fourth quarter.

Everett (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett looks on track to retake the field versus Pittsburgh on Monday after back-to-back absences. The starting safety's return to the lineup would provide a notable boost as Washington's secondary prepares for the task of containing Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers' dangerous receiving corps.

Everett (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Cowboys, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett began the week with a pair of limited practice sessions, but he was unable to get in any work Wednesday and consequently will miss his second straight game. Troy Apke is expected to start Thursday in Everett's stead.

Everett (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is an improvement after Everett missed all three practices prior to being inactive for Sunday's win over the Bengals. It's still a short week to recover ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys, so staying on the field through Wednesday's session will be crucial for his chances to play. If he's ruled out again, Troy Apke will start at free safety.

Everett (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everett totaled 15 tackles, two pass breakups and a forced fumble over his previous three starts. He's in danger of missing multiple games because Washington plays on Thursday night against Dallas in Week 12. Everett's absence likely means that Troy Apke will retake the starting free safety role that he handled for the first five games of the season.

Everett is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants with an ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

Everett played every defensive snap over the previous two games but was forced to exit during the second half Sunday. Troy Apke should fill in at free safety for Washington during his absence.
