Overview
- Daniels left Sunday’s 44-22 loss to the Cowboys in the third quarter after a strip-sack by linebacker Shemar James, was initially listed as questionable, and was later ruled out.
- Head coach Dan Quinn said Monday’s MRI revealed nothing significant and characterized the hamstring issue as not long-term.
- Washington has not cleared Daniels for next Monday night’s game at the Chiefs, with Marcus Mariota set to start if he cannot play.
- The quarterback previously missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a left knee sprain, and Washington has been dealing with multiple offensive injuries, including absences at wide receiver and Austin Ekeler’s season-ending Achilles tear.
- In relief Sunday, Mariota threw a pick-six on his first series; medical analysts cautioned hamstring strains can still cost players time depending on severity.
