Early Report: Brissett Unlikely To Play Today; Howell Standing By
Jacoby Brissett's elevation to starter might have been a bit premature. The quarterback is questionable for Washington's Week 17 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday due to a hamstring issue, according to the team's Friday injury report.
Commanders head coach Ron Rivera told reporters on Friday that Brissett reported hamstring tightness Thursday, requiring treatment to close the work week, which ends with unexpected uncertainty under center.
A source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter that Brissett is unlikely to play at this point, but the team wants to see how he feels in pre-game warmups before making any decisions.
Sam Howell will be ready to start if Brissett can't go.
I'll have Brissett's status in the 90 minute leading up to today's early-afternoon kickoff.
