Johnson Replaces Injured Mariota, Throws Interception in Commanders Loss

Josh Johnson entered the game for the Washington Commanders after Marcus Mariota sustained a right hand injury and left for a concussion check during the 29-18 loss to the Eagles. Johnson completed 5 of 9 passes for 43 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception, adding zero rushing yards. With Jayden Daniels already sidelined for the season, Johnson is now poised to lead the Commanders' offense for the final two weeks, including a Week 17 matchup against the Cowboys. This development is anticipated to be a significant downgrade for the team's skill-position players.
