Willis Gets Miami Debut as Mariota's Commanders Night Ends Early
Malik Willis made his Miami debut in the team's first preseason game while Marcus Mariota's night came to an early end after suffering an apparent injury in the first quarter of the Commanders Week 1 preseason game against the Dolphins.
Malik Willis made his Miami debut in the team's first preseason game, getting his first live reps in aqua and orange. Meanwhile, Marcus Mariota got the start at quarterback for the Commanders on Friday night, but his night came to an early end after suffering an apparent injury that knocked him out the Commanders Week 1 preseason game against the Dolphins.
The injury to Mariota in the first quarter creates immediate clarity questions for Washington's QB room heading into the regular season. Willis's debut performance will be worth monitoring as Miami continues evaluating its quarterback depth chart.
