One week after reinserting Carson Wentz into the starting quarterback role—and summarily being eliminated from the playoffs with a 24–10 loss to the Browns—the Commanders are once again set to make a switch at the quarterback position.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the team will now turn back to Taylor Heinicke to start in the team’s regular-season finale against the Cowboys on Sunday.
In addition, he reports that rookie Sam Howell, a fifth-round pick out of North Carolina, is “slated to play” in his first NFL game.
