"ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a knee injury, coach Dan Quinn announced Friday. Veteran Marcus Mariota will get the start in place of Daniels, who was not on the practice field during the open viewing portion of Friday's practice. Daniels sprained his left knee in a Week 2 loss at Green Bay and was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday."
"Quinn said earlier in the week that he'd want to see Daniels practice before making a decision on Daniels status for the game, expressing his desire to see his second-year quarterback run, pivot and cut-crucial parts of his game. Quinn had said multiple times throughout the week that they understood Daniels' importance to the organization and did not want to rush him back. Washington (1-1) hosts the Raiders (1-1) at 1 p.m. Sunday."
