Commanders Turn to Josh Johnson After Marcus Mariota Sustains Right-Hand Injury vs. Eagles

Washington lists him questionable with a right-hand issue following a cleared concussion check.

Overview

  • Mariota exited in the third quarter after a brief stint in the medical tent and jogged to the locker room with a towel over his throwing hand.
  • The team said he cleared concussion protocol and remains questionable as his right hand is further evaluated with no timetable disclosed.
  • With Jayden Daniels already shut down for the season, veteran Josh Johnson entered at quarterback late in the third quarter.
  • Washington did not elevate practice-squad quarterback Sam Hartman, leaving no eligible emergency third quarterback for the game.
  • Before leaving, Mariota completed 7 of 14 passes for 95 yards, and the exact timing and cause of his hand injury have not been determined.
