The Washington Commanders are making a quarterback change for their Thursday game against the Dallas Cowboys. Veteran Josh Johnson will start, replacing injured rookie Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota. Daniels is out for the season with an elbow injury, while Mariota left last weeks game early with hand and quad issues. Jeff Driskel is the new backup, and Sam Hartman has been promoted from the practice squad as the emergency third-stringer. Johnson has started forty-eight games in his career, with a fifty-eight percent completion rate, two thousand three hundred forty yards, thirteen touchdowns, and seventeen picks. The Commanders have slim playoff hopes, facing a Cowboys team with six wins, eight losses, and one tie. Mariotas injuries could linger, but Quinn remains optimistic hell return for the season finale. The one p.m. eastern standard time kickoff sets the stage for a divisional rivalry clash, with the Commanders heading to Philadelphia on January fourth to wrap up their year against the Eagles once more.
