The Washington Commanders designated offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer for return from injured reserve on Wednesday.

He has been sidelined since sustaining a concussion in Washington's 24-8 setback against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 25. He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 1.

Wednesday's move activates a 21-day window that the Commanders can either activate Schweitzer or shut him down for the season.

Schweitzer, 29, has started 56 of the 75 career games in which he has played with the Atlanta Falcons (2017-19) and Washington.
