Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will not play on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a report from ESPN.
The former LSU star quarterback is dealing with a low-grade hamstring strain. Veteran backup Marcus Mariota will start in Daniels’s place against the defending AFC champs.
Daniels underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed no long-term damage to his hamstring. Still, the Commanders seem uninterested in risking further aggravation against Kansas City by playing Daniels on Monday night.
This season has been a difficult one for the former Heisman Trophy winner. Daniels sprained his left knee in Week 2 against Green Bay and missed 2 games because of it. Washington went 1-1 in his absence.
His latest injury occurred during the third quarter of last Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Mariota replaced Daniels in what went on to become a 44-22 loss.
In 5 starts this season, Daniels has 1,031 passing yards and 8 touchdowns against 1 interception. He also has 211 rushing yards and a score.
Mariota has 426 passing yards and 3 touchdowns against 2 interceptions in 3 appearances this season.
