Whereas Wentz began the season, he suffered a finger harm and was positioned on the injured reserve record after the Week 6 sport towards the Chicago Bears. For the final 4 video games, Taylor Heinicke has been the starter, and he’s conserving the job for the speedy future.

Whereas Wentz has been cleared to throw, he hasn’t been designated for return but. The Commanders have gained three of their final 4 video games with Heinicke because the beginning quarterback so it’s unlikely they will change their tune until they begin dropping consecutive video games.
If this case stays the identical, the Colts could have their unique picks within the first and second rounds. They’ll have one third-round decide from the Commanders, however they traded their unique third-round decide to the Denver Broncos within the trade-up in the course of the draft to pick security Nick Cross.
In six video games, Wentz accomplished 64.1% of his passes for 1,489 yards, 10 touchdowns, six interceptions and an 84.1 passer score.
We’ll see what occurs with seven video games remaining, however it seems as of now, the Colts gained’t get that upgraded draft decide.
