Overview

• Jacoby Brissett, who was named the Washington Commanders' starting quarterback earlier this week, is now questionable for the team's Week 17 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury.
• Brissett reported hamstring tightness after practice on Thursday, and received treatment on Thursday night and Friday.
• If Brissett is unable to play, Sam Howell, who was benched in favor of Brissett, will return as the starting quarterback.
• Brissett has performed well in relief of Howell in the past two games, leading the team to multiple touchdown drives.
• The Commanders are already facing a tough battle against the 49ers due to injuries, with several starters, including two offensive linemen and two cornerbacks, sidelined.
