Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee during the preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins on Friday night, according to a source familiar with the situation. The 32-year-old Mariota, who was the starter at the time, was seen walking off the field during the first half of the game against the Dolphins.
The injury's severity is currently unknown, but it is expected to sideline Mariota for a portion of the regular season. Currently, the Commanders have two quarterbacks on their roster: starter Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota, with Sam Hartman and rookie Athan Kaliakmanis being the other options. Coach Dan Quinn is scheduled to address the media later on Sunday regarding the team's plan moving forward at the quarterback position.
