Dan Quinn bloodied after collision with Marcus Mariota

Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn was bloodied after taking a hit from quarterback Marcus Mariota in the first half of the team’s Week 3 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Quinn was run over late in the first half after Mariota scrambled for a 3-yard gain. The 55-year-old positioned himself to make contact with his backup quarterback and keep him upright.

Quinn then absorbed the brunt of Mariota’s momentum, falling to the ground and having his head snap back as he did so.

Numerous players and coaches on Washington’s sideline checked on him, but he indicated he was OK.

That said, Quinn suffered a minor facial injury after his nose slammed into Mariota’s shoulder during the hit. The cut Quinn suffered was atop the bridge of his nose and was dripping with blood as the second-year coach watched Matt Gay make a 56-yard field goal to close the first half.

Quinn provided an update on how he was feeling during an in-game interview with Fox Sports sideline reporter Jen Hale.

‘I’m OK. Everything’s good,’ Quinn said when asked about his injuries. ‘Just gonna be this kinda day where it’s a physical game, back and forth, and that’s what we expected coming in.’
