There have been ups and downs ever since he took over under center in Week 2, but there have been many more downs as of late. With Fitzpatrick sidelined, Taylor Heinicke will continue to play the role of starter moving forward. The 38-year-old reportedly elected to forgo surgery and rehab himself, and now Rapoport says that he won't be able to return until at least Week 10 - after Washington's bye. That original timetable would have put his return around Weeks 7-9, but it will take longer, as rehab has reportedly gone slower than expected. According to Rapoport, it is not a certainty that he makes it back onto the field "at all."įitzpatrick was expected to miss 6-8 weeks after suffering a hip subluxation in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. On Sunday, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported that Fitzpatrick is still on crutches around the facility, and is weeks away from returning. The Washington Football Team was hoping to get Ryan Fitzpatrick back from a hip injury relatively soon, but a new report indicates that will not be happening.
