  Sam Howell Likely To Start For Commanders Next Season

  In their pursuit of a new offensive coordinator, the Washington Commanders have reportedly been informing candidates that they would be working with Sam Howell as the starting quarterback next season. Howell took the field for his first career start in Week 18 and led the Commanders to a divisional win over the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, demonstrated his ability through the air and on the ground as he scored both a passing and rushing touchdown in his regular-season debut. Howell began the season behind Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke on the depth chart, but Wentz is unlikely to remain in Washington in 2023 and Heinicke will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason.

  Sam Howell To Start In Week 18

  Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell will start the Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie quarterback will make his first career start on Sunday. While the former North Carolina star hasn't played during the regular season, Howell was productive during the preseason. He averaged 182.3 passing yards per game and had two rushing touchdowns in three games. With the Commanders eliminated from the playoffs, it's no surprise the team will give the rookie a chance this week. The future at the quarterback position is up in the air in Washington. Maybe Howell can show enough potential on Sunday to warrant consideration as the long-term starter.
