Commanders QB Taylor Heinicke to start again Sunday

ASHBURN, Va. -- Taylor Heinicke is set to start at quarterback again for the Washington Commanders when they visit the Houston Texans on Sunday, coach Ron Rivera said Wednesday.

Carson Wentz did not take part in the team's walk-through Wednesday. Rivera said Wentz has been cleared to throw but has not been designated to return to practice after having surgery to repair a broken finger on his throwing hand.

Wentz, who worked out on an outdoor practice field, is eligible to return this week after spending the past four weeks on injured reserve.
