Commanders' Jayden Daniels Injured, Mariota To Start Against Raiders

Commanders' Jayden Daniels Injured, Mariota To Start Against Raiders

Jayden Daniels, the star quarterback for the Washington Commanders, hurt his knee and won't be playing this Sunday.

It happened during a game last week.

The team is being careful to make sure he gets better.

Because he's out, another quarterback named Marcus Mariota will play instead.

Mariota used to play for the Raiders, the team the Commanders are playing against this week.

Daniels had been doing well, throwing for a lot of yards and touchdowns.

Mariota hasn't started a game in a while, but he's ready to step in and help the team.
