The Washington Commanders [2-4] will have a new quarterback on the field for their Week 7 game against the Green Bay Packers [3-3]. Taylor Heinicke replaces Carson Wentz under center after the latter fractured the ring finger on his throwing hand last week and will miss at least the next four weeks.
Heinicke isn’t exactly a new face for Washington. He started 15 games for Washington last season, going 7-8 as a starter. He had some terrific moments as the starting quarterback, but he also faced his share of struggles. Sounds a lot like Wentz in 2022, right?
