Jayden Daniels will miss the Washington Commanders' game at the Kansas City Chiefs because of a hamstring injury, and Marcus Mariota will start at QB.

Washington has lost two games in a row heading into the contest at Kansas City .Washington has an all-time 1-10 record vs Kansas City and the team has never won in Arrowhead . Past results dont predict future outcomes but damn.

Daniels had an MRI exam a day after leaving in the third quarter of Washington’s 44-22 loss at the NFC East-rivalon Sunday. He grabbed at the back of his right leg while limping off the field after getting sacked and fumbling.Daniels, the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year last season, already has missed two games this season because of an injury to his left knee, on which he’s been wearing a brace. Washington went 1-1 in those games with Mariota starting in his place. Against Dallas, Mariota came in to replace Daniels and threw a pick-six on his second pass of the day.I think it's smart for Washington to announce now it's going to be Mariota this week. Give him the full week of practice, ideally w Terry & Deebo, and let Jayden just focus on recovery.
