Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz’s tough week continues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Commanders QB reported a fractured ring finger on his throwing hand in the 12-7 win versus the Chicago Bears, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo Saturday, per sources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After Washington’s win on Thursday, Wentz told reporters that his hand was feeling a little sore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It’s a little sore,” Wentz said of his right hand. “I think I’ll be alright. …The chilly conditions didn’t necessarily help the jammed fingers. It was all right.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wentz is now headed to Los Angeles to see a hand specialist to determine the next step and his availability moving forward is up in the air, Rapoport added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The news follows Wentz’s gutsy performance after throwing just 99 passing yards on Thursday. He completed 12 of 22 passes with no touchdowns, no interceptions and a 66.3 passer rating. In the first half, he appeared to have banged up his hand when he hit it against defensive lineman Justin Jones ‘hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prior to Thursday’s game, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported that Wentz also was dealing with a biceps tendon strain near his throwing shoulder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The seven-year quarterback has thrown for 10 touchdowns and six interceptions in his first season in Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, the Commanders will have to look at backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke and rookie Sam Howell to fill in if needed in Week 7 against the Packers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
