Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during the team's loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, head coach Dan Quinn said Monday.
Quinn said the timetable for Mariota's return remains uncertain as the team continues to evaluate the injury.
Separately, Quinn indicated that quarterback Jayden Daniels is set to practice with the team this week, a development that could factor into Washington's plans at the position going forward.
No further details on the severity of Mariota's sprain or a specific expected return date were provided.
What it means for Washington
Mariota's injury adds to the quarterback situation the Commanders have been managing this season, with Daniels' practice status this week likely to be closely watched as the team determines its plans at the position.
Quinn did not specify whether Daniels would be cleared to play in an upcoming game should his practice week go according to plan.
The Commanders will continue to provide updates on both players' statuses as the week progresses.
