Marcus Mariota ruled out for Week 5 against New York Giants

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota will not play in Week 5 due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, sustained during the Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota had been substituting for Jayden Daniels, who is set to return from an elbow injury for the matchup against the Giants. While Daniels will start, concerns remain regarding his performance level, as he may not be fully healthy. The Commanders continue to navigate their quarterback situation as they face New York.
