Commanders' QB Crisis Deepens as Mariota Suffers MCL Sprain in London Loss

Washington Commanders backup quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprain during the first quarter of a 30-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London on Sunday.

While Mariota is undergoing testing to confirm the severity of the knee injury, the team remains hopeful that starter Jayden Daniels will return for Week 5 against the New York Giants despite his ongoing elbow issues.
