Wentz returns to Commanders practice, not as starting QB
ASHBURN, Va. — Carson Wentz is back practicing with the Washington Commanders. Wentz returned to the practice field Wednesday and was designated to return from injured reserve, but he’s set to watch Sunday as Taylor Heinicke makes a sixth consecutive start when the Commanders host the Atlanta Falcons. Coach Ron Rivera selected Heinicke as the starter even pending Wentz’s return because Washington is 4-1 since the QB change. “Circumstances shouldn’t change who you are as a person, whatever that means and whatever that looks like,” Wentz said, crediting his wife for planning the Thanksgiving meal. “It’s a lot of credit to him and speaks to his character.” NOTES: Edge rusher Chase Young was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, and his status for the Falcons game is uncertain.
