Yahoo Sports NFL on Marcus Mariota

Mariota exits preseason with apparent leg injury; critical backup status in question.

Mariota suffered an apparent leg injury during the preseason opener against Miami, lasting only four plays before going down on a handoff to Kaytron Allen. He appeared to grab at his knee on the play and was able to walk off the field on his own. As Washington's established No. 2 quarterback behind Jayden Daniels with two developmental prospects behind him who are far from NFL-ready, Mariota serves as the last line of defense if something happens to Daniels; his health matters far more than the outcome of an August game. Head coach Dan Quinn had no update on Mariota when asked after the game.
