Marcus Mariota Cleared for Practice

Returning from Injury
Washington has officially opened the 21-day practice window for Mariota, who’s been sidelined due to a nagging pectoral injury. This setback has kept him off the gridiron for the first four weeks of the season. Having started 13 games for the Falcons in 2022 and made three brief appearances with the Eagles last year, where he threw for 164 yards with one touchdown and one interception, Mariota is now ready to roar back into action.

Building Momentum: Additional Key Returnees
But wait, there’s more! The Commanders didn’t stop there. They’ve also designated linebacker Jordan Magee and defensive lineman Efe Obada to return to practice. Magee has been on IR, while Obada was stashed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. Now, these two powerhouses are itching to hit the field and make their presence felt.

Receivers’ Setback

Jamison Crowder Hits the IR
On a less jubilant note, wide receiver Jamison Crowder has been placed on injured reserve, bothered by a calf injury. Crowder had a quiet start to 2024, managing just one catch for 5 yards. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but the Commanders are hopeful he’ll bounce back stronger.
Folks, the impending returns of Mariota, Magee, and Obada are bound to electrify the Commanders’ lineup. No doubt, the team is gearing up for an adrenaline-fueled ride with thrilling plays and crucial matchups ahead. ¡Vamos, Washington!
