Mariota 'A Stretch' for Week 18 Due to Hand, Quad Injuries

Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand/quadriceps) is considered "a stretch" for Sunday's Week 18 finale against the Eagles. He missed Monday's walkthrough and hasn't resumed practicing since Week 16 injuries, not moving at full speed. HC Dan Quinn stated his availability is highly doubtful, though there's "still hope" for an update by Wednesday. If Mariota cannot play, Josh Johnson will start under center for the Commanders, closing out the 2025 campaign.
