The Commanders may need to prepare for life without quarterback Carson Wentz for the next few weeks.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, Washington’s starter is facing a recovery timeline of four-to-six weeks as he nurses a fractured ring finger on his throwing hand. The team is reportedly considering placing Wentz on injured reserve, which would keep him out for at least four weeks.
Wentz, 29, is reportedly in Los Angeles Monday to confer with a hand specialist, according to Rapoport.
