Poised to practice this week
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Mariota (knee) is on track to return to practice this week, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Mariota was unavailable for the Commanders' past two games due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but the veteran quarterback benefited from the team's Week 7 bye and could be back in the mix for Sunday's contest against the Eagles. Athan Kaliakmanis has been filling in as Jayden Daniels' understudy but will drop to third on the depth chart once Mariota is cleared to play.
