"Unsurprisingly, quarterback Jayden Daniels was right at the top of their concerns. Insiders already revealed that running back Austin Ekeler and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. were out for the entire season. John Bates and Noah Brown left the game with groin injuries to further worry the team. Daniels sustained a knee complication that was serious enough to require an MRI following the clash."
"According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, Daniels suffered a sprained knee. Although the problem isn't too serious, the former LSU standout's status for this weekend's game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Northwest Stadium is now in doubt. The Commanders will take their time with Daniels this week. They cannot afford to throw him back out there too soon, and this complication becomes something more serious."
"Daniels is the franchise player. The Commanders will only go as far as he takes them this season. Not having him for even one game represents a blow, so Washington needs to make sure the correct plans are in place to keep treading water without one of the league's most dynamic playmakers. If Daniels cannot suit up, which looks like a legitimate possibility, the Commanders will turn to Marcus Mariota once again."
Multiple Washington Commanders players suffered significant injuries in Week 2, with Austin Ekeler and Deatrich Wise Jr. already ruled out for the season and John Bates and Noah Brown exiting with groin injuries. Jayden Daniels underwent an MRI after sustaining a knee complication and was later diagnosed with a sprained knee that leaves his availability for Week 3 uncertain. The team plans to be cautious and likely limit Daniels' practice time to avoid worsening the injury. If Daniels cannot play, veteran Marcus Mariota is expected to start as the Commanders' backup option.
