The Washington Commanders held their last, full practice today as they continue to prepare to host the New York Giants on Sunday. Dan Quinn spoke to reporters before practice and said everybody should be go to go for Week 1. WR Noah Brown(knee) and CB Jonathan Jones(hamstring) were the only players that didn’t practice today, but he said those were vet rest days. Both players were limited during the first two practices, but should be on the field Sunday. Brown suffered a knee injury at mandatory mini-camp in June, and has had a restricted offseason. Dorance Armstrong was also limited all week with a knee injury, but he got a full practice in today and should get the start Sunday.
QB Marcus Mariota had another restricted offseason with the Commanders as he dealt with an injury. Achilles tendinitis was the issue this year, but he’s had three full practices in preparation for the Giants game. Washington kept a third QB on their initial 53-man roster(Josh Johnson), but Mariota is projected to be Jayden Daniels’ backup on Sunday. Mariota’s health in Week 1, could open up the roster for a possible WR addition(Kendrick Bourne), or other roster options.
WR Noah Brown – Vet rest day today, dealing with a knee injury since June
CB Jonathan Jones – Limited last two days with a hamstring injury, full go today
DE Dorance Armstrong – Limited last two days with a knee injury, full practice today
K Matt Gay – Listed with an illness on Wednesday, but full practice all week
QB Marcus Mariota – Has been dealing with Achilles tendinitis, full practice all week
