"In Week 2, the Commanders lost 27-18 to the Packers on Thursday Night Football. Washington lost two players to season-ending injuries vs. Green Bay. On top of that, starting QB Jayden Daniels suffered a knee sprain vs. the Packers. He was limited at practice all week. Head coach Dan Quinn announced Friday that Daniels will not play in Week 3. Veteran QB Marcus Mariota will start for Washington against the Raiders. His first start since the 2022 season."
"During the 2024 NFL draft, the Commanders used the second overall pick to select Jayden Daniels out of LSU. As a rookie, Daniels led Washington to a 12-5 record as they made a run to the NFC championship game. He was named the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year and proved he is the team's franchise QB. Jayden Daniels started all 17 games for the Commanders in 2024. Just two weeks into the 2025 season, Daniels has suffered a knee injury."
"The veteran QB is in his 11th professional season and second with Washington. Mariota appeared in three games last season. The 31-year-old QB last started in Week 13 of 2022 for the Falcons. Marcus Mariota was ultimately benched for the final four games of that season. Since then, he has been a backup in the NFL. In 13 starts for the Falcons during the 2022 season, Mariota threw for 2,219 yards, 15 passing touchdowns, and nine interceptions."
In Week 2 the Commanders lost 27-18 to the Packers and suffered multiple injuries, including two season-ending cases. Starting quarterback Jayden Daniels sustained a knee sprain, was limited in practice, and has been ruled out for Week 3. Head coach Dan Quinn announced veteran Marcus Mariota will start Sunday against the Raiders. Mariota is in his 11th professional season and second with Washington; he last started in 2022 and appeared in three games last season. Daniels, the 2024 second overall pick from LSU, started all 17 games in 2024 and was the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.
