Yahoo Sports NFL on Marcus Mariota

Mariota suffers right knee injury in preseason opener; status uncertain.

Mariota started Friday's preseason game with Jayden Daniels out but suffered a right knee injury on Washington's fourth offensive snap after delivering a 22-yard pass to Dyami Brown. He took a shot after the throw, was knocked hard to the ground, and his knee buckled on the following play. Trainers examined his right knee on the field; he walked off on his own but left with a trainer. The source notes this is concerning because Mariota is a valuable asset and capable backup quarterback—significantly better than other backup options Sam Hartman and Athan Kaliakmanis—making his health paramount for the regular season.
