Key Points:
- Quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss at least one more week as he recovers from a dislocated left elbow, despite practicing with a brace this week.
- Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Daniels is ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Colts, with Marcus Mariota starting in his place.
- Mariota, starting for the second consecutive game, led the Commanders to a 33-31 victory over the Seahawks in Week 3, throwing three touchdowns.
- Daniels’ limited practice this week suggests a possible return to full participation next week, potentially allowing him to play against the Giants in Week 5.
- Linebacker Frankie Luvu and tight end Chig Okonkwo, both sidelined for the past two games, are expected to return for the game against Indianapolis.
