Commanders Rule Out Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin for Week 4 as Marcus Mariota Starts

Washington turns to Marcus Mariota in Atlanta with Terry McLaurin considered week-to-week after specialist evaluations.

Overview

  • Head coach Dan Quinn said both Jayden Daniels (knee) and Terry McLaurin (quad) will miss Sunday’s game against the Falcons, confirming Mariota as the starter.
  • Quinn labeled McLaurin week-to-week, and NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported the receiver does not need surgery at this time after multiple medical consultations.
  • Mariota led a 41-24 win over the Raiders in Week 3 and now faces his former team after starting 13 games for Atlanta in 2022.
  • Daniels, who sprained his left knee in Week 2, practiced in a limited capacity midweek with a brace but was not cleared by team doctors.
  • Quinn also ruled out receiver Noah Brown and tight end John Bates, and McLaurin’s absence ends his streak of 72 consecutive games played.
