Hartman (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman will once again operate as the team's No. 3 option at QB, a role he's become rather accustomed to this season. Josh Johnson will serve as the starting quarterback while Jeff Driskel gets the nod at backup against Philadelphia.

Hartman is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys but will act as Washington's emergency No. 3 quarterback.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman will only be eligible to suit up versus Dallas on Thursday if both Josh Johnson and Jeff Driskel are forced out of the Christmas Day contest. His opportunity to handle the emergency role comes with Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand) both already ruled out. Hartman is still vying for a chance to make his regular-season debut.

The Commanders signed Hartman from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman has been on the Commanders' practice squad since late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He has been signed to the active roster to serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback behind Josh Johnson and Jeff Driskel for Thursday's game against the Cowboys due to the absences of Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand). As the emergency QB3, Hartman would be prohibited from playing in Week 17 unless Johnson and Driskel were both to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. Hartman has not played in a regular-season game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024.

The Commanders signed Hartman to the practice squad Wednesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman was unable to beat out veteran Josh Johnson for the QB3 spot on the Commanders' 53-man roster, but the former will stick around as the team's quarterback on the practice squad. Hartman completed 25 of 46 passes for 207 yards and four interceptions while turning six carries into 40 yards across the Commanders' three preseason games.

Hartman was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman saw action in all three of Washington's preseason contests, completing 25 of 46 passes for 207 yards, but he also threw four interceptions. The 26-year-old spent the majority of the 2024 campaign on the Commanders' practice squad, and he appears to be potentially destined to rejoin their practice unit ahead of 2025.

Hartman completed nine of 19 passes for 64 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Friday's 48-18 preseason loss to the Patriots. He added one rushing attempt for six yards.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman got the start with Jayden Daniels resting and Marcus Mariota (lower leg) unavailable. The former Notre Dame quarterback played deep into the second quarter before being replaced by veteran Josh Johnson, who threw for 173 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Hartman and Johnson will continue to compete for the third spot on the depth chart in Washington's second preseason game, Aug. 18 against the Bengals.

Hartman will be the Commanders' starting quarterback for Friday's preseason game against the Patriots, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota (lower leg) not suiting up, Hartman will command the offense to begin Friday's game while Josh Johnson serves as the backup. Hartman spent most of the 2024 season on the Commanders' practice squad and will get the first crack over Johnson to audition for the QB3 job.

The Commanders signed Hartman to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman signed with the Commanders in late April as an undrafted free agent following six years in college (five with Wake Forest, one with Notre Dame). He spent most of the year on Washington's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he had a brief stint on the Commanders' active roster due to Marcus Mariota landing on injured reserve in early September with a chest injury. Hartman would have a better chance at making Washington's 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign if Mariota opts to sign elsewhere in free agency.

Washington signed Hartman to its practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Commanders waived Hartman on Thursday, and they're bringing him back onto their practice squad just two days later now that he's cleared waivers. As long as Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota and Jeff Driskel remain healthy, he's not likely to be elevated any time soon.

Hartman was waived by the Commanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hartman was relegated to the No. 4 quarterback role with Washington in Week 6 and he'll now be able to be claimed off waivers by any team in the league. If he goes unclaimed, Hartman will likely return to Washington as a member of the team's practice squad.
