Commanders work out QB Jack Plummer; Mariota not going on IR

The Commanders brought in QB Jack Plummer for a workout this morning, taking an early look at the former Panthers and UFL MVP signal-caller.
Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo): The #Commanders worked out QB Jack Plummer this morning. For what it's worth, he threw well and could be a consideration down the line, but the fact that Marcus Mariota isn't going on injured reserve right now means Washington will keep rolling with their four in-house QBs.
Mike Garafolo reported Plummer threw well and could be a consideration down the line, but the roster math stays put: Marcus Mariota isn't going on injured reserve, so Washington will keep rolling with its four in-house quarterbacks. The workout is a depth-hedge rather than a move — with Mariota available and healthy enough to stay off IR, Washington has no immediate void behind starter Jayden Daniels, and the club is simply keeping its options open at the position.
Plummer's name carries some intrigue as a workout invite — he spent time on Carolina's roster and won a UFL MVP with the Storm franchise, and coaching staffs around the league have kept tabs on that spring-league production. For now, though, the Commanders' QB room stays as-is, with no IR trip for Mariota changing the picture anytime soon.
