The Washington Commanders will be very shorthanded against the Atlanta Falcons.
Not only will the team’s starting quarterback Jayden Daniels miss his second straight game, but the team will also be without their star wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
The Commanders (2-1) will start Marcus Mariota at quarterback; he started 13 games for Atlanta in 2022.
Mariota started in a 41-24 Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. It was the third game since the start of last season where Mariota replaced an injured Daniels, and he has completed 48 of 62 passes for 573 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in that stretch.
