Four days after being benched, Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell will start after all against the San Francisco 49ers.
His quick return to the lineup became necessary when Jacoby Brissett was unable to play because of a hamstring injury.
Commanders coach Ron Rivera named Brissett the starter Wednesday after Howell had continued to struggle down the stretch. Rivera had benched Howell in each of the previous two games -- Washington trailed by at least 20 points in each game -- with Brissett rallying the team in both games.
