Mariota was sidelined for the previous two games with a sprained MCL but is ready to resume QB2 duties coming out of the Commanders' bye. Athan Kaliakmanis should slide back down to the QB3 spot for Washington.

Mariota was unavailable for the Commanders' past two games due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, but the veteran quarterback benefited from the team's Week 7 bye and could be back in the mix for Sunday's contest against the Eagles. Athan Kaliakmanis has been filling in as Jayden Daniels' understudy but will drop to third on the depth chart once Mariota is cleared to play.

As expected, Mariota will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, which he picked up during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London. Rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis will once again serve as Washington's backup quarterback behind Jayden Daniels for Monday night's game. The Commanders are on a bye for Week 7, so Mariota could be back in action for Week 8 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Mariota was forced to miss the Commanders' contest versus the Giants in Week 5 after spraining his MCL in Week 4 versus the Colts, and now his availability for Monday's game at San Francisco is in doubt. Unless he's able to return to practice in some capacity Friday or Saturday, rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis projects to continue to operate as Jayden Daniels' primary backup in Week 6.

Mariota was held out of practice all week while recovering from a sprained MCL in his right knee that he suffered against the Colts in Week 4. The good news for the Commanders is that Jayden Daniels (left elbow) has been cleared to return for Week 5, and with Mariota sidelined, rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis will operate as the backup QB behind Daniels. The next opportunity for Mariota to return is Week 6 against the 49ers on Monday, Oct. 19.

With Washington declining to place Mariota on injured reserve, the veteran quarterback appears set to avoid a long-term absence after aggravating his previously-injured knee in last Sunday's loss to the Colts. Jayden Daniels (elbow) is expected to start Sunday's game against the Giants.

MCL sprain sidelines Mariota; Daniels preps for full practice

In his team's loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a sprained MCL of his right knee, and the timetable for his return remains uncertain coach Dan Quinn said on Monday.

Meanwhile, Quinn expects Jayden Daniels (left elbow) to have a full week of practice and return to action this coming Sunday against the Giants, per Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site. When it comes to Mariota, the knee injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Colts in London typically is a multi-week injury, meaning seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis likely will be the backup signal-caller to Daniels in Week 5 and perhaps beyond that point.

As expected, Mariota is dealing with a recurrence of the same injury that he sustained during Washington's preseason opener back on Aug. 14. Mariota was able to resume practicing fully before the start of the regular season, but he'll need to miss some time following his latest aggravation. The 32-year-old had started both of the Commanders' previous two games while Jayden Daniels (elbow) was sidelined, but Daniels is expected to practice fully in Week 5 and could be ready to start Sunday versus the Giants. If Daniels is cleared to play next weekend, rookie seventh-round pick Athan Kaliakmanis will step in for Mariota as the No. 2 quarterback.

Mariota ultimately moved past the injury ahead of the start of the regular season, but he'll most likely have to miss time after experiencing another setback in Week 4. The 32-year-old made a second straight start in place of the injured Jayden Daniels (elbow), completing three of four pass attempts for 46 yards and carrying once for 35 yards before leaving the game midway through the first quarter. Athan Kaliakmanis took over under center following Mariota's departure, but Kaliakmanis could move back to the No. 2 role if Mariota ends up being sidelined for the Commanders' Week 5 game against the Giants. Daniels was a limited participant in practice throughout Week 4 and may be ready to take back starting duties in Week 5 if he isn't hindered by his dislocated left elbow.

Mariota left the game midway through the first quarter, after he appeared to injure his right knee on a sack. With Jayden Daniels (elbow) inactive for a second straight game and with Mariota -- who previously dealt with an MCL sprain in the same knee during the preseason -- set to miss the final two quarters of Sunday's contest, rookie seventh-round pick Athan Kaliakmanis will be the lone healthy quarterback available for Washington. Mariota will finish Week 4 with three completions on four attempts for 46 yards and one carry for 35 yards.

Marcus Mariota injured as Commanders turn to rookie QB Athan Kaliakmanis

Marcus Mariota left Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury, forcing the Commanders to turn to seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis at QB.

Mariota appeared to injure his right knee when he was sacked with 7:05 remaining in the first quarter. As Tashan Reed of The Washington Post notes, Mariota dealt with an MCL sprain in the same knee during the preseason, but it's unclear at this point whether he's dealing with any sort of related setback. With Jayden Daniels (elbow) inactive for a second straight game, the Commanders would be left with Athan Kaliakmanis as their lone healthy quarterback if Mariota is unable to continue. Reserve tight end Colson Yankoff would be an emergency option at quarterback for Washington if Kaliakmanis also departs with an injury at any point, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic.

Making a second straight start in place of Jayden Daniels (elbow), Mariota completed three of four pass attempts for 46 yards and ran once for a 35-yard gain before he appeared to get hurt on a third-down sack with 7:05 remaining in the quarter. Athan Kaliakmanis came on to replace Mariota under center on the Commanders' next possession.

Jayden Daniels (elbow) practiced this week but was ruled out for Week 4, so Mariota will start under center for the second time in as many weeks. Mariota threw for only 183 yards but tossed three touchdowns in his team's Week 3 victory over the Seahawks, and he now will square off against a Colts team that ranks 30th in the league in passing yards allowed per game.

The veteran quarterback got his first start in place of Jayden Daniels (elbow) and while Mariota didn't produce a lot of yardage against one of the top defenses in the league, he came up big when it counted, Mariota found Rachaad White for a six-yard score and Treylon Burks for an 11-yard TD in the first quarter before connecting with Terry McLaurin for a 30-yard touchdown in the third. Daniels could be back as soon as Week 5, but Mariota will get at least one more start, at home in Week 4 against the Colts.
