NFL 2023 Week 17 early inactives: Jacoby Brissett out, Sam Howell back in for Commanders

Every week we bring you all the inactives from the 1 p.m. ET games in one post, constantly updated with the latest information.

The Commanders planned to make a quarterback change this week, but Jacoby Brissett’s hamstring had other ideas.

Brissett was installed as the starter after replacing Sam Howell in each of the team’s last two games and he practiced without incident until popping up on the injury report on Friday. His hamstring trouble led to a questionable designation and reports that Brissett would miss the game were confirmed with the release of the Commanders’ inactive list 90 minutes ahead of kickoff against the 49ers.

Howell will now be pressed back into service after head coach Ron Rivera spent the start of the week saying that the second-year player needs a break after a run of subpar outings. That’s less than ideal for the Commanders and it could prove to be a good way for the 49ers to recover their footing after last Monday’s loss to the Ravens.
