Don't see QB Marcus Mariota (hand/quad) at practice today for the #Commanders. HC Dan Quinn called him doubtful to play earlier. If he can't go, it'll be Josh Johnson starting against the Eagles on Sunday.
#Commanders HC Dan Quinn said QB Marcus Mariota (hand/quad) and LT Laremy Tunsil (oblique) will be "long shots" to play Sunday.

Looks like the #Commanders won't face most of the Eagles' starters this week:

The #Commanders could end up picking as high as No. 2 in the 2026 draft, but they have no plans of tanking.

Why? It's not in their DNA.

And as important as draft order is, their ability to evaluate talent is what'll dictate their future ๐Ÿ”—โคต๏ธ https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/12/31/why-wont-commanders-aggressively-tank-its-not-their-dna/

Why wonโ€™t the Commanders aggressively tank? Itโ€™s not in their DNA.

Jayden Daniels is sitting, but Washington is still trying to win. Depending on Week 18 results, it could pick anywhere from No. 2 to No. 7 in Aprilโ€™s draft.
