Commanders’ Jayden Daniels Out with Injury and Marcus Mariota to Start vs. Chiefs, AP Source Says
Jayden Daniels is sidelined with a low-grade right hamstring strain after a hit in Sunday's game, prompting Marcus Mariota to start Monday against the Chiefs.
- On Oct 22, 2025, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss Monday night's game at the Kansas City Chiefs, and Marcus Mariota will start in his place.
- During Sunday's game, Daniels suffered the hamstring issue after a hit that forced a fumble when Shemar James poked the ball away, and Daniels grabbed the back of his right leg as he limped off.
- The team's medical review included an MRI and prior-injury context as Daniels had no `significant` damage, Coach Dan Quinn said, despite missing two games with a left-knee injury.
- This will be Jayden Daniels' third missed start through eight weeks as Washington Commanders travel to face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs Monday night.
- Marcus Mariota, backup quarterback, has a 1-1 record in his two starts this season with 363 yards passing, three touchdowns and one interception.
