NFL star Brock Bowers reveals knee issues have been his biggest challenge from year one to year two.
Sports Seriously
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was injured in the second half of his team’s Week 7 game against the Dallas Cowboys.
The injury occurred when Daniels was twisted awkwardly to the ground while being sacked by Shemar James, who landed on the quarterback’s ankle as he went to the ground. Daniels remained on the ground after the play and immediately reached for the back of his right leg.
Eventually, Daniels was able to hobble to the sidelines with help from Washington’s medical staff. He was brought to the blue medical tent for further evaluation but eventually exited and went to the locker room.
The Commanders announced Daniels was questionable to return to Sunday’s game because of a hamstring injury.
Daniels completed 12 of 22 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. He also added 35 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
If he cannot return to the game, backup quarterback Marcus Mariota would take control of Washington’s offense.
Mariota, 31, is in his second season with the Commanders and has made 76 starts during his career. He is 1-1 in relief of Daniels this season and has completed 64.6% of his passes for 363 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
The Commanders have three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. Below is a look at the pecking order among the group.
- Jayden Daniels
- Marcus Mariota
- Josh Johnson
The Commanders also have Sam Hartman on the practice squad.
