Marcus Mariota News Espn

The Washington Commanders have an injury concern with quarterback Marcus Mariota in the second half of the Week 11 game against the Miami Dolphins. Mariota got shaken up in the third quarter after he was nearly sacked for a safety. He has since exited the field and Josh Johnson is coming in. Prior to his exit, Mariota was having a strong game, as he had completed 16-of-22 passes for 160 yards and one touchdown while adding five rushing yards on three attempts. Follow our tracker for all of the latest injury updates on Mariota for the rest of the game. UPDATE: Mariota is officially back in the game.

Mariota is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid after he was forced out in the third quarter and was evaluated for a concussion, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Mariota was brought down hard on the turf after uncorking an incomplete pass with 3:41 remaining in the third quarter. Josh Johnson stepped in at quarterback to finish out the drive before the Commanders punted the ball away. After emerging from the Commanders' medical tent following his evaluation, Mariota was seen throwing the football on the sideline, per Keim. Mariota thus looks like he'll have a chance to return to the game in the fourth quarter, but if not, he'll finish the day having completed 16 of 22 passes for 160 yards and... The Washington Commanders, who are widely expected to select a quarterback with the second overall pick in next month's draft, agreed to a deal with veteran Marcus Mariota, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter...

Mariota, who played sparingly for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, agreed to a one-year deal worth $6 million that could reach $10 million with incentives, sources told ESPN. The Commanders also have Sam Howell, who started every game last season, and are likely to select between quarterbacks Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels in next month's draft. It's among the latest moves for Washington during the early part of free agency. The Commanders have added multiple starters during this time, including deals with veteran running back Austin Ekeler and veteran tight end Zach Ertz. Washington also made a pair of moves to bolster its defense Tuesday. A source confirmed to ESPN that the team agreed to a deal with defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., the third player the Commanders landed at that position since Monday's legal tampering period began.

He joins Dorance Armstrong and Clelin Ferrell as new Commander ends. Former Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn agreed with the Commanders on a one-year deal worth up to approximately $5.2 million, a source confirmed to ESPN. When Dan Campbell took over as the Miami Dolphins' interim head coach in 2015, he sent a message to his players about toughness by having two veterans line up for an Oklahoma drill in... Current Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard was one of those players. Sheppard recalled that moment Thursday when asked when he knew Campbell could lead the Lions to a turnaround. Sheppard, who played for the Dolphins when Campbell was on staff in 2014-15 and was part of Campbell's first coaching staff with the Lions, said he knew Campbell had the goods to succeed as...

"Listen, I love Joe Philbin," Sheppard said of the former Dolphins coach who was fired early in the 2015 season. "But in the Miami Dolphins facility, all the lights were off. We didn’t pay the electric bill all year. And then when Dan took over, he paid the whole six months that were unpaid. Because guys had a fire. You went to practice with a purpose.

Like I’ll say it, I was one of those guys. Shame on us as players to let the environment or the situation dictate how we put forth to our profession. But it just shows you the quality of a head coach." Sheppard said Campbell sent him and veteran center Mike Pouncey out to the middle of the field for an Oklahoma drill, in which a defensive player takes on a blocker while trying to stop...
