"Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will sit out Monday night's game at the Kansas City Chiefs with a low-grade right hamstring sprain, a person familiar with the situation confirmed Wednesday. It will be Daniels's third missed start in eight games. Backup Marcus Mariota is expected to start in his place. Daniels, 24, missed two games in September with a left knee sprain he suffered in a Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers."
"He exited Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys early in the third quarter after fumbling the ball and being twisted to the ground. Though he flashed a thumbs-up to the crowd after leaving the blue medical tent, Daniels was later ruled out for the remainder of the game. Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Daniels underwent an MRI exam, which revealed "good news" about the severity of the injury."
"Daniels's absence from Monday night's game is another blow for the reeling Commanders, who are 3-4 and have been decimated by injuries. In Dallas, they played without their top three wide receivers and saw defensive end Dorance Armstrong suffer a season-ending knee injury. The team has already lost defensive Deatrich Wise Jr. (quadriceps) and running back Austin Ekeler (torn Achilles tendon) for the season."
Jayden Daniels will miss Monday night's game at Kansas City with a low-grade right hamstring sprain, marking his third missed start in eight games. Daniels previously missed two September games with a left knee sprain suffered in Week 2 and returned wearing a knee brace. He exited the recent 44-22 loss to Dallas in the third quarter after fumbling and being twisted to the ground, then was ruled out for the remainder of that game. An MRI provided "good news" regarding severity, and the coach characterized the hamstring as not significant or long term. Marcus Mariota is expected to start while the team copes with multiple season-ending and long-term injuries.
