Mariota suffers right knee injury early in preseason; health critical for Commanders backup role

Veteran backup QB suffered a right knee injury early in the preseason opener on Washington's fourth offensive snap. After throwing a 22-yard TD pass to Dyami Brown, Mariota took a shot and was knocked hard to the ground; his knee buckled on the following play. He limped off the field with a trainer and spent time in the medical tent. Head coach Dan Quinn said he didn't have an update on the injury immediately after the game. Mariota's health is paramount for the Commanders as a valuable asset capable of orchestrating the offense should starter Jayden Daniels be unavailable; he's significantly better than backup options Sam Hartman and Athan Kaliakmanis.
