Marcus Mariota leaves Week 4 with right knee injury with Commanders already without Jayden Daniels

Washington faced a tough situation during their Week 4 matchup against Indianapolis when quarterback Marcus Mariota exited in the opening period due to a right knee issue sustained on a third-and-goal sack. After heading to the medical tent and subsequently the locker room, the veteran passer was listed as questionable to return, forcing rookie seventh-round draft pick Athan Kaliakmanis into action for his professional debut.

Prior to his departure, Mariota helped set up an early field goal for a six-point advantage and added notable offensive sparks with a pair of thirty-five-yard gains, one on the ground and another through the air to Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The setback compounded an already depleted roster missing regular starter Jayden Daniels, primary wide receiver Terry McLaurin, and backup running back Rashaad White.
