The Washington Commanders announced their 8 team captains, and 3 alternates, for the 2022 season. The group features only 3 players who were captains at the start of last season(Terry McLaurin, Logan Thomas, Jonathan Allen) and an alternate who is currently on the Reserve/PUP list(Chase Young).
Carson Wentz is the undisputed QB1 going into the season, and he also replaces Ryan Fitzpatrick as a team captain. Fitzpatrick’s time in Washington was cut extremely short due to a career-ending hip injury. Wentz has taken control of the offense, and has been a leader on and off the field during his short time here since arriving in March via trade from the Indianapolis Colts.
