Excellent in relief Mariota completed 18 of 23 passes for 205 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. He added 11 rushes for 34 yards.
Impact Mariota was forced into the game after just one offensive possession after Jayden Daniels (ribs) departed. He led the Commanders' offense effectively, highlighted by a pair of touchdown drives to close the first half and begin the second half. On those two possessions, Mariota combined to complete 10 of 11 passes for 119 yards and a pair of touchdown throws. While he benefitted from a very favorable matchup, Mariota showed a surprising command of the offense in relief. However, he'll face a much tougher test if called upon for a Week 8 matchup against the Bears.

Serving as backup QB Mariota (pectoral) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Impact Mariota landed on injured reserve just before the season opener due to a chest injury, which was reclassified as a pectoral issue during Week 5 prep after the Commanders designated him for return Wednesday and were required to list him on the practice report. He remained questionable for Sunday, even after the team activated him Saturday, but now that he's deemed active he'll act as the top backup to starting quarterback and rookie sensation Jayden Daniels.

Activated off injured reserve Mariota (chest) was activated off injured reserve but remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Impact It would seem counterintuitive to activate a player off injured reserve and then not play them, especially well within the 21-day practice window, so it seems likely the veteran quarterback is set to operate as the backup come Sunday. Mariota will likely push out Jeff Driskel from the backup spot as a result.
