Commanders' Josh Johnson: Passable in win
Johnson completed 14 of 22 passes for 131 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Eagles. He added nine rushes for 45 yards with an additional score and a lost fumble.
Johnson drew his second consecutive start in the absence of both Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand). He effectively managed the offense for most of the game and orchestrated a pair of touchdown drives in the fourth quarter, which he capped off with a two-yard passing score and a one-yard rushing touchdown, to give the Commanders the win. Johnson will become a free agent this offseason, though retirement is also a possibility as he just concluded his 11th season and is set to turn 40 in May.

Commanders' Josh Johnson: Named as Week 18 starter
Johnson will start Sunday's game against the Eagles, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Commanders coach Dan Quinn named Johnson as his Week 18 starter Friday, ruling out Marcus Mariota (hand) for a second straight week. Washington also will be missing LT Laremy Tunsil (oblique) against an Eagles team that's expected to rest many starters.

Commanders' Josh Johnson: Quiet in Christmas loss
Johnson completed 15 of 23 passes for 198 yards without a touchdown or an interception in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Christmas Day. He added 10 rushing yards on two carries.
Getting his first NFL start since 2021 with both Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand) unavailable, the 39-year-old Johnson was an effective game-manager for Washington but nothing more, even in a matchup against a weak Dallas defense. Daniels has already been ruled out for the rest of the season, but Mariota could be cleared to return in Week 18. If not, Johnson will likely be under center again versus the Eagles.

Commanders' Josh Johnson: Trending toward Week 17 start
Johnson is trending toward making his first start of the season Thursday against the Cowboys after Marcus Mariota (hand/quadriceps) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
With the Commanders shutting down Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the season and with Mariota unlikely to be ready to play on a short week, Johnson is the next man up at quarterback. The journeyman signal-caller's last NFL start came back in 2021, when he filled in for Lamar Jackson in Week 17 during his second of three stints in the Ravens organization. Johnson has flashed some upside as a runner in his limited playing time over his previous stops during his long career, but given that he's now 39 years old, he probably can't be counted on to replicate the rushing production of Daniels or Mariota.

Commanders' Josh Johnson: Set to start Thursday
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Wednesday that Johnson will start quarterback in Thursday's game against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Marcus Mariota hasn't been able to practice since sustaining hand and quadriceps injuries in this past Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles and won't be available on a short week, paving the way for the well-traveled Johnson to make his first NFL start since 2021. Over 48 career appearances (nine starts) across 10 different seasons, the 39-year-old Johnson has completed 58.0 percent of his pass attempts for 6.4 yards per attempt and a 13:17 TD:INT. Per Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C., Quinn said that the Commanders have hope that Mariota might be able to return for the Jan. 4 season finale in Philadelphia, so Johnson could be headed back to the No. 2 role in Week 18.
