On Thursday, the Washington Commanders announced that quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for the team’s Monday Night Football contest against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a recent hamstring injury. The Commanders will host the Seattle Seahawks at Northwest Stadium for Sunday Night Football in Week 9.

WASHINGTON — Quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss the Washington Commanders’ game at the Kansas City Chiefs because of an injured right hamstring and Marcus Mariota will start in his place, the team announced. Washington (3-4) has lost two games in a row heading into the contest at Kansas City (4-3).

QB Jayden Daniels’ latest injury leaves the Washington Commanders’ playoff chances in serious doubt heading into Week 8.

Once again, backup QB Marcus Mariota steps into the starting lineup. The veteran journeyman is 1-1 in his two starts this season with 363 yards passing, three touchdowns and one interception. Against the Cowboys, Mariota completed 4 of 10 passes for 63 yards and a pick six.

The Washington Commanders will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels for Monday night's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Multiple reports state that Daniels is dealing with a low-grade hamstring strain after he suffered the injury early in the second half of their Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The trauma suffered by this fan base during the Daniel Snyder era is real, but it's time to lay the ghosts of quarterbacks past to rest.

Things did not go according to plan for the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon in their Week 7 matchup against their NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
