Commanders QB Carson Wentz broke a finger on TNF, availability unknown
Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz is back in the news this week.
Appearing to be in pain during a Thursday Night Football win against the Chicago Bears, the quarterback completed 12 of his 22 pass attempts for 99 passing yards and notably trucked Bears linebacker Roquan Smith. Now multiple reports Saturday confirm that Wentz sustained a fractured ring finger on his throwing hand.
He is reportedly already on his way to see a hand specialist in Los Angeles to establish next steps and determine his availability going forward. One report estimates that Wentz could be out for as many as six weeks. However, that likely will not be confirmed until Monday.
