"Jayden Daniels is once again out in Week 15 after reaggravating the elbow injury in his first game back. This was incredibly frustrating for everyone associated with the Washington Commanders, as a season that had promised much quickly descended into chaos. The Commanders will be relying on veteran backup Marcus Mariota to lead the charge at MetLife Stadium. He's had a lot of experience in the starting role this season, and Washington's staff trusts him fully."
"I think it's not always going to be clean. Not everything's going to be nice and smooth sailing. And I think for him to be able to go through some of this, to go through this adversity, it's really going to set himself up for his future and his career. And the more that we can continue to engage him and making sure that he's feeling like he's a part of it is also very important."
"We live in an instant gratification world. Fans are letting their frustrations be known, which is their right. The Commanders were projected to go deep into the postseason, but they're 3-10 and have lost eight straight contests. The finger-pointing began long ago, but Mariota is confident that these turbulent times can make Daniels and the entire franchise come back stronger."
Jayden Daniels is out in Week 15 after reaggravating an elbow injury in his first game back. The Washington Commanders' season quickly descended into chaos as injuries and poor results left the team 3-10 with eight straight losses. The Commanders will turn to veteran backup Marcus Mariota to start at MetLife Stadium; Washington's staff trusts Mariota after multiple starts this season. Mariota said that adversity can set Daniels up for a stronger future and career and emphasized keeping Daniels engaged and feeling part of the team. Mariota's own long-term role with the Commanders beyond 2025 remains uncertain.
