Commanders starting quarterback Carson Wentz will be out for at least a month with the broken ring finger suffered in the team’s Thursday night win over the Bears last week.
Washington announced that it has placed Wentz on injured reserve, keeping him out for at least the next four games. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported the news. He will miss Sunday’s home game against the Packers, as well as a trip to face his 2021 club the Colts, a home game against the Vikings, and a road trip to face the Eagles, his other former team and an NFC East rival.
Taylor Heinicke is set to start for the Commanders in his absence.
