Commanders To Rest Veterans In Week 18?
11 months ago
NBC Sports Washington's JP Finlay writes that he's getting the vibe that a lot of the Washington Commanders' veterans will be rested in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. The Commanders aren't in playoff contention and have nothing to play for besides draft positioning and spoiling the Cowboys' shot at the NFC East title. Quarterback Sam Howell will close out the year starting under center with Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) still injured, but players like receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring), who didn't practice on Thursday, could be held out in the final game of the season. We'll pass along any concrete news we have on specific players that may be held out of action this weekend for the Commanders if it comes along. On offense, Samuel is the most likely player to be rested.
