Commanders' Marcus Mariota Injures Hand, Questionable to Return vs. Eagles

Jayden Daniels is out for the season, leaving veteran Josh Johnson as the next option.

Overview

  • Mariota was hurt in the third quarter after an incompletion and went to the blue medical tent before heading to the locker room with a towel over his right hand.
  • The team said he cleared concussion protocol and is questionable to return due to a hand injury.
  • If Mariota cannot continue, 39-year-old backup Josh Johnson would take over against Philadelphia.
  • Johnson has a 1-8 career record as an NFL starter, with 2,297 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
  • Washington's depth chart lists practice-squad quarterback Sam Hartman as additional insurance with Daniels already ruled out for the year.
