That's proved to be the case with one former Commanders trade flop, who stumbled into a starting opportunity when all hope seemed lost just a few short weeks ago. Former Commanders QB Carson Wentz gets another starting chance after J.J. McCarthy injuryCarson Wentz was Ron Rivera's biggest swing to solve Washington's ongoing riddle at football's most pivotal position. He was tasked with backing up J.J. McCarthy, but another disappointing injury to the first-round pick thrust him into another starting chance. McCarthy is expected to miss anywhere between 2 and 4 weeks with an ankle sprain suffered against the Atlanta Falcons. The magnitude of this chance won't be lost on Wentz.
