Sub-100-yard effort in Week 6 win Wentz (shoulder) completed 12 of 22 passes for 99 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed twice for two yards in the Commanders' 12-7 win over the Bears on Thursday ni...

Impact It was reported earlier in the day that Wentz was dealing with a biceps tendon strain near his throwing shoulder, and he certainly didn't look 100 percent during Thursday's forgettable statistical showing. The fact the veteran quarterback also had to take another three sacks likely didn't help his condition, but Wentz stayed away from turnovers for the first time all season and leaned heavily on his defense and rookie running back Brian Robinson with success. The fact Wentz was once again down Jahan Dotson (hamstring) and Logan Thomas (calf) also hurt his overall prospects, but he'll have a chance for better health and perhaps the return of his two pass catchers with the extended time off before a Week 7 home matchup against the Packers on Oct. 23.

Cleared for Thursday Wentz (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Bears.

Impact Wentz never seemed in serious danger of missing the game, but he'll be without two key pass catchers in wideout Jahan Dotson (hamstring) and tight end Logan Thomas (calf). The Commanders still have receivers Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel at Wentz's dispoal, and the pass-catching depth has been one of the few positives for the team this season. Wentz gets one of his more favorable matchups of the season Thursday, but he's still been prone to negative plays even against weaker competition.
