Carson Wentz to have surgery on finger (0:17)

There is a report on the surgery on the injured finger of the player. 0: 17

Taylor Heinicke will start at quarterback for the Washington Commanders against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Heinicke will be backed up by Sam Howell.

While the team did not give a timetable for his return, a source told Jeremy Fowler that he was told by doctors that he could be back in four weeks.

He fractured his ring finger in the win over the Bears.

The offense needs a spark. The Commanders scored 55 points in the first two games, but only 47 the rest of the way.

In six games, the Eagles' quarterback has thrown for 1,489 yards and 10 touchdown, which is fifth in the league, with six picks. The total QBR of 36.0 is 27th in the league.

The team gave up three picks and a choice in the second round. If Wentz plays 70% of Washington's offensive snaps, the Commanders will give him a second-round pick.

John Keim was a contributor.
