Mariota completed 13 of 20 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown with an interception after replacing Jalen Hurts late in the second quarter of Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Giants. He added 46 rushing yards on six carries.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran QB entered the game with the Eagles already in a 24-0 hole, and Mariota promptly threw a pick on his first pass attempt before halftime. He did lead a couple scoring drives in the second half, but Philly never seemed close to staging a real rally. It's the most action Mariota has seen all season, and while the 30-year-old is a free agent in the offseason, he seems to be a good fit with the Eagles as Hurts' backup and could return on another affordable contract.

Mariota played five of the Eagles' 72 snaps on offense and completed two of three pass attempts for 16 yards while carrying twice for six yards in Sunday's 42-19 loss to the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

For the first time all season, Mariota was summoned from the bench with just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter while starting quarterback Jalen Hurts was evaluated for a concussion. Mariota led the Eagles to a pair of first downs before Hurts was cleared to return to the game. Assuming Hurts makes it through the upcoming practice week unscathed, Mariota will remain in a backup role for the Eagles' matchup with the Cowboys this Sunday.

Mariota will start Friday against the Colts, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mariota is only expected to play one series before giving way to Tanner McKee, and eventually Ian Book. The Oregon product has struggled at times learning his new team's offense during training camp, but he's fully expected to remain the team's No. 2 option behind Jalen Hurts this season.

Mariota started the Eagles' 18-18 preseason tie with the Browns on Thursday night and completed nine of 17 passes for 86 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed once for five yards.

EDGE Analysis

Mariota needs game reps in his new team's offense, so his extended stint in Thursday's contest makes sense. The veteran signal-caller was sharper in Philadelphia's preseason opener versus the Ravens while completing seven of 11 passes, but Mariota remains a lock for the role of Jalen Hurts' top backup come the regular season.

Mariota has gotten off to a slow start during training camp, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mariota has thrown four interceptions in the first week of training camp. However, for the time being, that's being chalked up to him being on his third team in three seasons. According to teammate Boston Scott, "he's still learning the playbook, but he's a really smart guy. It's gonna take time, but you can see the tools for sure." Mariota will have plenty of time to adjust to the new offense and his role as Jalen Hurts' backup throughout the remainder of training camp and preseason.

Mariota has been an active participant at the Eagles' OTAs this spring, Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mariota signed a one-year contract with the Eagles this offseason after finishing last season with Atlanta on injured reserve with a knee injury. The quarterback appears to be healthy ahead of the 2023 campaign and is expected to operate as the top backup behind starting quarterback Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia. Mariota, a former second overall pick in 2015, started 13 games with the Falcons last year and if Hurts were to go down, the Eagles' offense wouldn't have to change much with the 29-year-old's skillset under center.

Mariota (knee) signed a one-year contract with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal will pay Mariota $5 million and could be worth up to $8 million with incentives. Mariota will slot in as the backup quarterback behind Pro Bowler Jalen Hurts.

The Falcons released Mariota (knee) on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mariota's release has been expected, and frees up roughly $12 million in cap space for Atlanta. The 29-year-old ended the 2022 season on IR after having been benched for Desmond Ridder, ending his only campaign as a Falcon with a 15:9 TD:INT through 13 appearances. Once fully recovered from his knee procedure, Mariota will likely draw interest from teams looking for a veteran backup quarterback.

The Falcons placed Mariota (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rookie Desmond Ridder will take over as the starting quarterback, backed up by recent signing Logan Woodside. Mariota, meanwhile, will undergo a procedure on his knee and will be ineligible for the final four weeks of the regular season.

Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that Mariota will be placed on injured reserve later Wednesday and is set to undergo a knee procedure next week, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mariota was already set to move to the bench coming out of the Falcons' Week 13 bye, as the team was eager to give rookie third-round pick Desmond Ridder an opportunity to start. With knee surgery now on tap, Mariota won't be available even in a backup capacity, paving the way for recent signing Logan Woodside to back up Ridder for the Falcons' final four games. Per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Falcons won't have a timeline for Mariota's recovery from surgery until the procedure is completed. He'll be entering the second season of a two-year, $18.75 million contract in 2023 after he completed 60.3 percent of his passes for 7.4 yards per attempt and a 15:9 TD:INT while adding 438 yards and four touchdowns on the ground through 13 appearances during his first campaign in Atlanta.
