The Colts are facing a significant change in their matchup against the Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota is now questionable to return following a knee injury sustained during the second offensive drive. This leaves Washington with rookie Athan Kaliakmanis, who is making his NFL debut, under center. Mariota was injured after being sacked, with doctors evaluating him off the field. The Commanders are already without their original starter, Jayden Daniels, who is inactive due to a dislocated elbow. The game continues as Kaliakmanis leads with a 6-0 score against the Colts.
