Commanders Sign Jeff Driskel With Marcus Mariota Day-to-Day for Christmas Day

Washington added quarterback depth ahead of Thursday’s short-week matchup against Dallas.

Overview

  • Jeff Driskel joined Washington from the Cardinals’ practice squad, returning to a system he learned as the Commanders’ No. 3 quarterback last season.
  • Marcus Mariota required stitches to his right throwing hand and is managing a quad issue after exiting the Week 16 loss to the Eagles, and he is considered day-to-day.
  • Josh Johnson replaced Mariota against Philadelphia and will take the majority of first-team practice reps, with he or Mariota expected to start versus the Cowboys.
  • Starting right guard Sam Cosmi was placed on injured reserve after a concussion, with Andrew Wylie set to step in at the position.
  • Rookie starter Jayden Daniels has been shut down for the season, leaving Washington to navigate the final two games with veteran replacements on a short turnaround.
