ASHBURN — Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz said Wednesday he’s “physically feeling good” more than two months after breaking his finger and said he’ll be ready to play if called upon.
Coach Ron Rivera said this week that Taylor Heinicke will remain the team’s starter for Saturday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, but acknowledged that a quarterback change would be something “I have to think about” if the team’s offensive struggles continue.
Wentz, the Commanders’ high-profile offseason acquisition, started the first six games this season before fracturing his ring finger in an October win over the Chicago Bears.
