Washington Commanders' head coach Ron Rivera has announced that quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start over Sam Howell in their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers. This decision comes after Brissett's impressive performance in the last two games. However, Brissett is now questionable for the game due to a hamstring injury, and if he can't start, Sam Howell will take over. The Commanders are facing a depleted secondary due to injuries. The team has not yet decided who will start at QB in the following game if Brissett is healthy.
Ron Rivera declined to say today whether Jacoby Brissett or Sam Howell would start at QB for the Washington Commanders on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. “We don’t want to give them any head start on anything,” he said.
