Washington quarterback Alex Smith was the biggest surprise among Football Team inactives for Saturday's Wild Card round playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Washington will instead turn to Taylor Heinicke, who was added to the roster in December as the team's quarantine quarterback, but acquitted himself well when coming in for relief of Dwayne Haskins in Washington's Week 16 loss to Carolina.

Outside of Smith, who was already questionable coming into the weekend, there are no big surprises among Washington's inactives list.
