Commanders' QB Jayden Daniels Undergoes Knee MRI After Packers Loss

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a knee injury during a late fourth-quarter tackle in a loss to the Green Bay Packers and underwent an MRI to assess the damage, though results have not yet been disclosed. Daniels played all 69 snaps despite limping and completed 24 of 42 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 17 yards on eight carries. The game was costly for the Commanders as they also lost running back Austin Ekeler and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. to season-ending injuries. The Commanders face uncertainty regarding Daniels' condition, with no official injury report released yet, raising concerns about the team's quarterback depth with backups Marcus Mariota and Sam Hartman available. The loss and injuries are significant setbacks for Washington's hopes to contend in a competitive NFC, where teams like the Eagles and Cowboys are emerging as strong playoff contenders. The Commanders' next game is scheduled against the Las Vegas Raiders on September 21.
