The Washington Commanders worked out quarterback Jack Plummer this week after backup Marcus Mariota sustained a knee injury. Rookie Athan Kaliakmanis stepped in during a recent game against the Indianapolis Colts, but Plummer, the 2026 UFL MVP, impressed during the workout. With Mariota's injury revealed to be a sprained MCL, the Commanders opted to retain their current quarterback group, which includes Kaliakmanis and practice squad player Sam Hartman. Starting quarterback Jayden Daniels is expected to return for Week 5 against the New York Giants, with Kaliakmanis serving as his backup until Mariota's recovery.
