Marcus Mariota productive before injury
Commanders QB Marcus Mariota sees limited work before suffering injury
Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota left a game against the Indianapolis Colts with a knee injury. Before exiting, he had completed 3 of 4 passes for 46 yards and rushed for 35 yards on one carry. Mariota's injury adds to the team's quarterback woes, as starting quarterback Jayden Daniels is also sidelined, having dislocated his left elbow in a previous game.
According to SB Nation, Mariota's early performance had helped the Commanders take a 6-0 lead, with two field goal drives. However, he was knocked out of the game after a hit, and further evaluation confirmed a potential knee injury. His replacement, rookie Athan Kaliakmanis, went on to complete 15 of 33 passes for 186 yards, with a touchdown and an interception.
The Washington Commanders' quarterback situation is uncertain, with both Mariota and Jayden Daniels dealing with injuries. If cleared to play, Jayden Daniels could be a top fantasy quarterback, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
