Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz and coach Ron Rivera on Tuesday downplayed Wentz’s shoulder injury that showed up on the injury report this week.
ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz and coach Ron Rivera on Tuesday downplayed Wentz’s shoulder injury that showed up on the injury report this week.
Rivera said Wentz reported the shoulder was sore Monday morning after the team’s loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. He said Wentz took all of his snaps in practice Tuesday.Rivera also doesn’t expect a problem to linger from his remarks Monday that “quarterback” was the reason the Commanders were not as far ahead in their rebuilding effort as the other teams in the NFC East.
Wentz, who has thrown for 10 touchdowns with six interceptions, including a game-ending pick against the Titans, also sounded ready to move past the short-week distraction. Rivera and the front office acquired Wentz from the Indianapolis Colts in March, a trade that made the 29-year-old unquestionably the Commanders starter.
