That lines up Marcus Mariota to get his second straight start for the Commanders. This time, he'll be facing his former team in Atlanta.
The injury news has caused a massive shift in the betting odds for this game. At the start of the week, the Commanders were listed as 3-point favorites against the Falcons. Now, the line has completely flipped, and it's the Falcons who now sit as the favorites.
Let's take a look at the latest odds.
