They feel like they can win with Mariota, at least for the week until they get Daniels back." Head coach Dan Quinn announced on Friday that Daniels wouldn't play and Marcus Mariota will get the start against the Raiders. Daniels was diagnosed with a knee sprain after the Commanders' Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported. Sitting out Sunday means Daniels will have 17 days between games if he is able to play in Week 4. Sunday marks the first game Daniels has sat out in his NFL career.
