Ron Rivera: Sam Howell is not Commanders' starter, but he is coming in as QB1

Posted Mar 1, 2023
"He’s not our starter," Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera said about former UNC quarterback Sam Howell. "He’s coming in as the QB1. He’ll get a great opportunity to be our starter. But we want to find a veteran quarterback. We have Taylor Heinicke that’s a free agent. We’ve got to work through that as well. And we’ll see what happens from there." (NBC Sports)
