Bye Week Blues: Key QBs Uncertain for Broncos vs. Commanders
25 Nov
Summary
- Commanders' QB Jayden Daniels unlikely to play vs. Broncos due to elbow injury.
- Marcus Mariota expected to start for Washington against Denver.
- Broncos hope for return of defensive stars Surtain II and Singleton.
As the Denver Broncos and Washington Commanders prepare to face each other following their bye weeks, uncertainty surrounds the availability of key players, particularly at quarterback. The Commanders are expected to be without their starting signal-caller, Jayden Daniels, who has been sidelined with a dislocated elbow.
Head coach Dan Quinn indicated that Daniels is unlikely to participate in the upcoming Sunday Night Football game, paving the way for Marcus Mariota to make another start. This situation contrasts with the anticipation of a prime-time matchup featuring two top rookie quarterbacks, as Daniels had a stellar previous season.
Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos are optimistic about potentially reinstating defensive key players Pat Surtain II and Alex Singleton to bolster their defense. Despite Washington's 3-8 record, the potential return of Daniels would have presented a significant challenge for Denver on the road.
