Jayden Daniels is officially out for Sunday’s game in London against the Colts. That means Marcus Mariota is stepping back into the starting quarterback role for Washington, making this the second game Daniels will miss this season.
Daniels’ Elbow Keeps Him Sidelined
Daniels is still dealing with that dislocated left elbow he picked up back in Week 2 against the Cowboys. Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Daniels will be OUT on Sunday. The young QB traveled with the team to London and has been limited in practice all week as he adjusts to a new brace. Quinn noted that Daniels practicing on a limited basis was “a huge step,” which is good to hear, but it doesn’t change the fact he’s not under center this weekend.
Mariota Takes The Reins Again
So, it’s Mariota once more. He will start for the Commanders on Sunday. This puts the spotlight squarely on him to lead the offense in a crucial game for Washington. Every snap will matter as they face the Colts across the pond without their regular starter. Fans will be eager to see how Mariota performs in this significant start.
Washington needs to find a way to get it done this Sunday against the Colts. The team will rely on Mariota to get things rolling, and everyone will be watching to see how they respond with him leading the charge.
