Final Week 1 injury report

Final Week 1 injury report

The Washington Commanders wrapped up preparations for their Week 1 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday, and they could be without two players.

Veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota didn’t practice for the second consecutive day with a pec injury. Mariota was limited on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday and Friday.

So, I would say he strained a pec, his chest, and so I would say right now he’s unlikely,” head coach Dan Quinn said Friday.

Also, rookie defensive tackle Jer’Zhan “Johnny” Newton missed his second consecutive practice. Quinn offered the following on Newton’s potential availability.

“We’re not gonna rule him out, we’re gonna take him into Sunday,” he said. “And in doing that, we’re working through the D-Tackle. But it was good to get him some team reps today and feel into that. So, haven’t ruled him out, but we’re still gonna work him on Sunday as well.”

Mariota is ruled out for Sunday, and Newton is doubtful. Everyone else is set to play.

Here’s the final injury report for Week 1:

Did not participate: QB Marcus Mariota (chest)

Limited participants: DT Jer’Zhan Newton (foot)

Full participants: DT Daron Payne (back), OT Trent Scott (knee), OT Brandon Coleman (shoulder), DE Clelin Ferrell (knee), OLB Dante Fowler Jr. (knee)
