Sources: Mariota to miss time with MCL sprain Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a sprained MCL that is likely to sideline him for the remainder of the preseason, sources told ESPN.

There has not been any word yet on the injury to quarterback Max Brosmer, who was supposed to finish out the fourth quarter of yesterday's game but was pulled after one series with an injury to his right wrist. Carson Wentz, who played most of the third quarter, went back into the game in Brosmer's place and finished out the contest. When we get an update on that injury, we will pass that one along to you as well.

"Jamal has done such an unbelievable job coming here," O'Connell said. "You feel his passion every single day. . . . You're just crushed for him, the role he was kind of paving for himself and then just having a personality, experience, toughness that he brought in such a short amount of time. We're going to miss him. We're going to need to see some guys here step up. But what I told Jamal is our organization, we've got our arms wrapped around him. And he's a part of this thing. But you absolutely hate to see that."

The Cardinals signed Tyler Allgeier this offseason, and he has been the clear-cut top backup to Love. Arizona still has veteran James Conner and 2024 third-rounder Trey Benson, as well as journeyman Bam Knight and several others. Both Conner (returning from a severe foot/ankle injury) and Benson (knee "flare-up") have been dealing with injuries in the preseason.
