Washington Commanders' quarterback Jacoby Brissett was listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury, and the team's secondary was affected by injuries. Brissett was expected to be a game-time decision, but it was later confirmed that he would be inactive. As a result, Sam Howell started as the quarterback for the Commanders in their game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Commanders ultimately lost the game, with Sam Howell being the first Washington quarterback since Kirk Cousins in 2017 to start a full season.
