ASHBURN — During the two months he was sidelined with a concussion, Wes Schweitzer received what he called “life-changing” treatment from doctors who specialize in head injuries. The medical team had the Washington Commanders offensive lineman undergo vision therapy, which Schweitzer said helped aid his recovery.
“I feel the best I have in years,” Schweitzer said. “I’m feeling energized and I’m ready to go play well for this team.”
The Commanders are going to need him. For Sunday’s rematch against the New York Giants, Washington will have Schweitzer start at center in place of Tyler Larsen — the veteran who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the previous meeting.
