The Washington Commanders released their inactive list ahead of the Week 18 season finale against the Dallas Cowboys, and it features multiple starters.
Here’s the complete list:
- QB Carson Wentz
- RB Brian Robinson Jr.
- G Andrew Norwell
- T Cornelius Lucas
- DT Jonathan Allen
- DE James Smith-Williams
- S Kamren Curl
In addition to the above inactives, the Commanders placed multiple players on injured reserve last week, including Antonio Gibson, Benjamin St-Juste and Saahdiq Charles.
From the inactive list, every player was battling an injury, and the Commanders chose to just rest them and go with younger players. Washington will be without its top three running backs [Robinson, Gibson, J.D. McKissic], leaving Jonathan Williams a chance to carry the load and Jaret Patterson also receiving plenty of time.
Rookie seventh-round pick Chris Paul will start, seeing his first NFL action, joining quarterback Sam Howell.
Carson Wentz is a healthy scratch, as Howell and Taylor Heinicke are the quarterbacks for the Commanders.
