Commanders Add Quarterback Jake Fromm to Practice Squad

On Tuesday, the Commanders announced they signed former Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm to their practice squad. The move was made in the wake of Carson Wentz fracturing a finger on his throwing hand Thursday against the Bears. He’ll reportedly be out of action for four to six weeks.

Fromm is most known for his days in the SEC where he led the Bulldogs for several seasons before eventually being drafted in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Bills. He was released in August 2021 but signed to the Giants practice squad later that season and made his first start in Week 16 of the 2021 season against the Eagles.
