Minnesota Twins head coach Kevin O’Connell announced his departure.
With two games remaining in the season, the Commanders have decided to add Jake Fromm for depth, even though they’re not moving very quickly.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the NFC team promoted the quarterback from their practice squad, where he had spent the majority of the season. Brissett had been listed as questionable due to a hamstring issue prior to their game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Sam Howell, who was benched in favor of Brissett in Week 16, is anticipated to start Sunday against the Niners.
On Sunday, the latter almost defeated the New York Jets in a comeback game, but the Commanders ultimately fell short 28–30.Meanwhile, Fromm has struggled in the NFL since being taken in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft and hasn’t played a snap in the last two years.
Now that he is back on the active roster, he will be hoping to see some action.
