Marcus Mariota is expected to start for the Washington Commanders in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday. The move comes after rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow on Sunday.
Per Schefter, Daniels is gathering more information about his injury timeline and will seek opinions from multiple medical experts. The Commanders continue to evaluate the extent of the injury as they determine next steps for their starting quarterback.
Mariota, 32, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans. He will serve as the starter while Daniels receives specialist evaluations.
