    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Won't suit up for Week 5

    Marcus Mariota (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.Mariota was held out of practice all week while recovering from a right knee injury that he aggravated against the Colts in Week 4. The good news for the Washington Commanders is that Jayden Daniels (left elbow) has been cleared to return for Week 5, and with Mariota sidelined, rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis will operate as the backup QB behind Daniels. The next opportunity for Mariota to return is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19.

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: MCL sprain confirmed

    Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Marcus Mariota has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his right knee, and the quarterback's recovery timeline is to be determined, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.Meanwhile, Quinn expects Jayden Daniels (left elbow) to have a full week of practice and return to action this coming Sunday against the Giants, per Zach Selby of the Washington Commanders' official site. When it comes to Mariota, the knee injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Colts in London typically is a multi-week injury, meaning seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis likely will be the backup signal-caller to Daniels in Week 5 and even beyond that point.

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Sustains MCL sprain in London

    Marcus Mariota has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his right knee after he was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Colts in London, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.As expected, Mariota is dealing with a recurrence of the same injury that he sustained during Washington's preseason opener back on Aug. 14. Mariota was able to resume practicing fully before the start of the regular season, but he'll need to miss some time following his latest aggravation. The 32-year-old had started both of the Washington Commanders' previous two games while Jayden Daniels (elbow) was sidelined, but Daniels is expected to practice fully in Week 5 and could be ready to start Sunday versus the Giants. If Daniels is cleared to play next weekend, rookie seventh-round pick Athan Kaliakmanis would step in for Mariota as the Commanders' No. 2 quarterback.

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Aggravates MCL injury in Week 4

    Marcus Mariota (knee), who was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Colts in London, is set to undergo further tests after suffering an aggravation of the right MCL sprain he initially sustained in the Washington Commanders' second preseason game, Molly McGrath reported on the NFL Network broadcast.Mariota ultimately moved past the injury ahead of the start of the regular season, but he'll most likely have to miss time after experiencing another setback in Week 4. The 32-year-old made a second straight start in place of the injured Jayden Daniels (elbow), completing three of four pass attempts for 46 yards and carrying once for 35 yards before leaving the game midway through the first quarter. Athan Kaliakmanis took over under center following Mariota's departure, but Kaliakmanis could move back to the No. 2 role if Mariota ends up being sidelined for the Commanders' Week 5 game against the Giants. Daniels was a limited participant in practice throughout Week 4 and may be ready to take back starting duties in Week 5 if he isn't hindered by his dislocated left elbow.

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Won't return Sunday

    Marcus Mariota (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.Mariota left the game midway through the first quarter, after he appeared to injure his right knee on a sack. With Jayden Daniels (elbow) inactive for a second straight game and with Mariota -- who previously dealt with an MCL sprain in the same knee during the preseason -- set to miss the final two quarters of Sunday's contest, rookie seventh-round pick Athan Kaliakmanis will be the lone healthy quarterback available for Washington. Mariota will finish Week 4 with three completions on four attempts for 46 yards and one carry for 35 yards.

    Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Managing knee injury, uncertain to return

    The Washington Commanders list Marcus Mariota as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts in London due to a knee injury.Mariota appeared to injure his right knee when he was sacked with 7:05 remaining in the first quarter. As Tashan Reed of The Washington Post notes, Mariota dealt with an MCL sprain in the same knee during the preseason, but it's unclear at this point whether he's dealing with any sort of related setback. With Jayden Daniels (elbow) inactive for a second straight game, the Commanders would be left with Athan Kaliakmanis as their lone healthy quarterback if Mariota is unable to continue. Reserve tight end Colson Yankoff would be an emergency option at quarterback for Washington if Kaliakmanis also departs with an injury at any point, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

    Marcus Mariota will start at quarterback for the Washington Commanders in Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.Jayden Daniels (elbow) practiced this week but was ruled out for Week 4, so Mariota will start under center for the second time in as many weeks.

He added 11 rushing yards on five carries.The veteran quarterback got his first start in place of Jayden Daniels (elbow) and while Mariota didn't produce a lot of yardage against one of the top defenses in the league, he came up big when it counted, Mariota found Rachaad White for a six-yard score and Treylon Burks for an 11-yard TD in the first quarter, before connecting with Terry McLaurin for a 30-yard touchdown in the third.
