Mariota (groin) will miss Sunday's preseason finale against the Patriots but is trending toward fully practicing next week, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

While the backup quarterback will miss his second preseason matchup in a row, he should be back to practice next week in preparation for Washington's season opener against the Bucs on Sept. 8. Although fellow Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels has been announced the starter ahead of the season, Mariota's health is still relevant considering he'll serve as the rookie second overall pick's primary backup to open 2024.
