Commanders vs. Packers Week 7 inactives: Dotson out once again originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
LANDOVER, Md. -- Taylor Heinicke is now under for the Washington Commanders with Carson Wentz on Injured Reserve, but the 29-year-old signal-caller will be without one of his top weapons for his first start of the season.
Rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson is out for a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. Dotson, who returned to practice on Wednesday, appeared to re-aggravate the injury while running out route during individual drills on Thursday. He did not practice Friday and has been ruled inactive vs. Green Bay despite entering the day as questionable.
