What Commanders OC David Blough, DC Daronte Jones said about Washington entering Week 3

The Washington franchise faces a difficult stretch following a defeat of 37-20 against the Dallas Cowboys, during which starting quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow on the final play of the opening half. With Daniels sidelined indefinitely and having missed 11 games since the beginning of the 2025 campaign, veteran Marcus Mariota is set to take over starting duties under center.

Washington now prepares to host the undefeated Seattle Seahawks for a Week 3 matchup. Head coach Dan Quinn noted that the club awaits further medical evaluations to determine a recovery timeline for Daniels, while Mariota steps in to pilot an offense that must navigate additional injuries along the offensive line and missing its primary rushing threat.
