While awaiting info on Daniels, Commanders announce Mariota will start Sunday
Marcus Mariota will start at quarterback for the Washington Commanders this weekend after Jayden Daniels went down with a dislocated left elbow. Coach Dan Quinn says Daniels had imaging done Monday and will see specialists Tuesday and Wednesday. Quinn says he might have an update on Daniels on Thursday or Friday. The injury in Sunday’s loss at Dallas came on a broken play at the end of the first half. Daniels used his non-throwing arm to brace his fall and in doing so injured the elbow.
A similar thing happened last November, when Daniels dislocated the same elbow during a game against Seattle.
