Carson Wentz, who last started for the Commanders in their 12–7 win over the Bears back in Week 6, has regained his spot more than two months later. On Wednesday morning, the team announced that he, and not Taylor Heinicke, will lead the way when Washington hosts the Browns on Sunday.
Wentz suffered a broken finger in that game against Chicago, and went on injured reserve. In his place, Heinicke led the team to a 5-3-1 record. The team is 0-2-1 over the last three games, however, likely prompting the switch back to Wentz, who had one of his best outings of the year off the bench in a 37–20 loss to the 49ers on Saturday.
