Impact Wentz stands to serve as the primary backup to Taylor Heinicke now that he's returned to Washington's active roster, beginning with Sunday's divisional contest against the Giants. The veteran hasn't played since Week 6 due to having undergone right ring finger surgery. In his six starts this season, Wentz threw 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Impact Wentz will return to practice Wednesday, perhaps with the goal of coming back for Week 13, or else after the Week 14 bye. The Commanders reportedly now view Taylor Heinicke as their starter, leaving Wentz in a backup role unless or until his teammate's performance leads to a benching.

Commanders designate QB Carson Wentz to return to practice Wentz moves a step closer to returning as a possible backup to Taylor Heinicke. The Commanders now have 21 days to activate him.
NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Cleared to practice The Commanders announced Wednesday that Wentz (finger) has been designated for return from injured reserve.
Impact The transaction opens up a 21-day window wherein Wentz can be evaluated in practice without counting toward the active roster. Once deemed healthy enough to play, Wentz is expected to settle in as the backup to Taylor Heinecke, barring an injury or poor performance from the latter that causes the Commanders to change their plans at quarterback. Wentz has been sidelined since undergoing surgery Oct. 17 to repair his right ring finger, and if he looks good during the team's three practices this week, he could be activated from IR in advance of this Sunday's game against the Falcons to replace Sam Howell as Heinicke's backup. While Wentz has been out of the lineup, Heinicke has led Washington to a 3-1 record as a starter.

Likely to remain backup upon return Wentz (finger) is expected to serve as the Commanders' backup quarterback once he's activated from injured reserve, with Taylor Heinicke set to retain the starting job "unless some...
Impact Wentz made enough progress in his recovery from Oct. 17 right ring finger surgery to resume throwing this week, but he hasn't yet been cleared for practice and will remain on IR for a fifth straight game when the Commanders take on the Texans on Sunday. Though Wentz could be available to play as soon as Week 12, the starting job will belong to Heinicke for the final seven games of the season so long as he doesn't miss time due to injury or doesn't see a dramatic downturn in performance in the weeks to come. While Heinicke hasn't posted eye-popping statistics in the absence of Wentz, he's helped lead the Commanders to a 3-1 record during his run as starter to keep the team in the thick of the NFC playoff race. In addition to Heinicke's respectable play, the Commanders are incentivized to keep Wentz on the bench due to the terms of his contract. As Ben Standig of The Athletic notes, if Wentz plays 70 percent of Washington's offensive snaps this season, it would result in the Commanders surrendering a 2023 second-round draft pick to the Colts rather than a third-round pick.
