Jayden Daniels out for Sunday’s game against Las Vegas Raiders

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to an injured left knee.

Daniels ruled out

He was unable to practice for a third consecutive day. At a press conference on Friday coach Dan Quinn said Marcus Mariota will replace him in the lineup. 

The quarterback sat out practice on Wednesday and Thursday because of the knee injury. He was wearing a brace on his left leg in the locker room. 

Mariota gets start

Sunday’s start will be Mariota’s first start since 2022 when he was with the Atlanta Falcons.

Daniels was hurt in the fourth quarter of Washington’s 27-18 loss at the Green Bay Packers in Week 2 when he was sacked four times and faced pressure throughout the game.
