The Washington Commanders [3-4] are back on the road in Week 8 as they travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts [3-3-1]. Washington has won two games in a row, while the Colts, winners of two of their past three, made a quarterback change this week.
Out is veteran Matt Ryan, and in is second-year passer, Sam Ehlinger. A sixth-round pick in 2021, Ehlinger has really impressed the Colts, who believe he is ready for this opportunity.
The Commanders are also starting a backup quarterback. Former Indianapolis quarterback, Carson Wentz, fractured a finger on his throwing hand in a Week 6 win and is out 4-6 weeks. Taylor Heinicke started last week and led Washington to a 23-21 win over the Packers.
We’ve identified five Colts to watch for this weekend’s game against the Commanders.
