The Washington Commanders were already down a quarterback going into Week 16, and now they might be down two.

Marcus Mariota was starting for Jayden Daniels, who has been shut down for the rest of the season after aggravating his elbow injury.

However, Mariota is now dealing with an injury in the second half of the contest versus the Philadelphia Eagles, which has led to Josh Johnson entering the game.

But what if Johnson gets hurt?

Here's what we know about the team's emergency option under center.

Who is Commanders' emergency QB?

We do not know who Washington would turn to if Johnson gets hurt and Mariota can't return.

Washington has Sam Hartman on the practice squad, but he isn't eligible to play because the Commanders didn't elevate him for Saturday's game.

According to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic, the Commanders have two former college quarterbacks in wide receiver and returner Luke McCaffrey and tight end Colson Yankoff, but both players aren't suited up because of injury.

We'll just have to wait and see what the Commanders will do if Johnson gets hurt.
