Marcus Mariota's non-contact injury during the preseason game has been diagnosed as a sprained MCL, likely sidelining him for the rest of the preseason.
The Washington Commanders faced a setback when quarterback Marcus Mariota exited the first preseason game due to a non-contact injury on Friday.
Mariota indicated an issue with his right knee and left the field with trainers. Reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter confirmed that he has sustained a sprained MCL, which is expected to keep him out for the remainder of the preseason.
With the Commanders' first regular-season game against the Philadelphia Eagles approaching, Mariota's recovery time may allow him to serve as the backup quarterback for Jayden Daniels. His presence is considered vital, as the team would have faced challenges with inexperienced quarterbacks if the injury had been more severe.
