Week 7 of the NFL season has several players battling injuries entering the weekend slate.
Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz is expected to face a four-week recovery following surgery to repair a fractured right finger he suffered against the Chicago Bears. Backup Taylor Heinicke will take over the Commanders' offense while Wentz is out. Heinicke isn't a stranger to stepping into the starting role, as he played 16 games for the Commanders last season.
Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson suffered a hamstring injury during the Monday night loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
