INSANE: Commanders activate carson wentz from injured reserve | Rare Historical Photos

The Commanders activated quarterback Carson Wentz from the injured reserve list Monday, the team announced. Wentz has been sidelined since fracturing his finger in Washington’s victory over the Bears in Week 6.

Without Wentz, the Commanders have gotten hot behind quarterback Taylor Heinicke. The team is 5-1-1 since placing Wentz on injured reserve and currently sits as the sixth seed in the NFC playoff picture.

As a result, Commanders head coach Ron Rivera said the team will stick with Heinicke as the starter, making Wentz Washington’s backup quarterback.
