Washington Commanders backup quarterback Marcus Mariota has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Sunday.⁠
⁠
Mariota, 32, will miss the remainder of the preseason, but Quinn is “optimistic that he’ll be ready for the start of the regular season.”⁠
⁠
Mariota was injured during Washington’s preseason opener against Miami on Friday night. Starter Jayden Daniels did not play against the Dolphins.⁠
⁠
Quinn said the Commanders don’t plan on bringing in another quarterback at this time. The only other QBs on the roster are Sam Hartman and rookie Athan Kaliakmanis.⁠
⁠
“It will allow more reps over the next couple of weeks with Sam (Hartman) and Athan (Kaliakmanis) in that spot,” Quinn said.⁠
