Write Sam Howell's name in as the starting quarterback of the Washington Commanders in pencil instead of pen.
After Washington head coach Ron Rivera previously suggested the second-year signal-caller was in position to start for the NFC East team, Rivera told reporters Tuesday: "He's not our starter. He's coming in as QB1 and he'll get a chance to be the starter."
Rivera said the Commanders will look to add veteran depth and could bring back free-agent-to-be Taylor Heinicke as well.
Howell and Heinicke are the only quarterbacks on the roster after the Commanders announced Monday they have released Carson Wentz.
