McLaurin, Daniels Out for Commanders in NFL’s Spain Debut as Mariota Starts

Dan Quinn has assumed defensive play-calling, with Washington seeking to halt a five-game skid in Madrid.

Overview

  • Washington officially listed quarterback Jayden Daniels (dislocated elbow) and wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) as inactive for Week 11 against Miami, with Marcus Mariota starting.
  • Quinn’s first game calling the defense saw Washington hold the Dolphins to six points by halftime, recording two sacks in a 6-6 tie at the break.
  • Defensive tackle Daron Payne is unavailable due to a one-game suspension for punching Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
  • McLaurin traveled to Madrid to work through the on-field portion of his rehab, and a Week 13 return after the Week 12 bye is possible if progress continues.
  • The game at Santiago Bernabéu is the NFL’s first regular-season contest in Spain, with Washington entering at 3-7 and kicker Matt Gay missing a 51-yarder before hitting a 30-yard field goal to end the half.
