Marcus Mariota injury: Commanders QB to locker room vs. Colts

Washington faced another major setback at the quarterback position during their overseas matchup against Indianapolis in London. Filling in for the injured Jayden Daniels, backup signal-caller Marcus Mariota was forced to exit the contest and head toward the tunnel for medical checks after suffering an apparent leg injury during a tackle.

With both of their top options unavailable, the franchise elevated rookie third-stringer Athan Kaliakmanis to direct the offense.

The team officially designated the veteran runner and passer as questionable to return due to the knee issue. Kaliakmanis, a late-round draft selection who previously competed at the collegiate level for Minnesota and Rutgers, stepped into the vacancy after beating out competition during training camp.

The ongoing physical woes for the depth chart continue to test the roster's resilience as the season progresses.
