Commanders rule out Jayden Daniels, confirm Marcus Mariota will start vs. Colts in London Week 4

Washington head coach Dan Quinn verified that quarterback Jayden Daniels will sit out the upcoming international matchup against Indianapolis in Week 4 after dealing with a non-throwing elbow dislocation. Marcus Mariota is set to step in under center following his solid outing last week against Seattle where he tossed three touchdowns without an interception.

Daniels made the trip overseas and participated in limited practices while wearing a protective brace, avoiding a surgical procedure that was deemed unnecessary by medical specialists. General manager Adam Peters and Ian Rapoport previously indicated a speedy recovery timeline, though Quinn emphasized the franchise will not rush the young signal-caller back before he is fully prepared.

Washington enters the contest with a 1-2 record to face a struggling Indianapolis defense that has yielded high passing numbers.
