Jayden Daniels, the Commanders' quarterback and frontrunner for Offensive Rookie of the Year, is uncertain for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to a rib injury. He participated in limited practice but will undergo a pre-game workout to determine his availability.
If Daniels cannot play, Marcus Mariota will start, with Jeff Driskel as the backup. The Commanders opted not to elevate Sam Hartman from the practice squad, indicating confidence in Daniels' potential to play.
Should Mariota start, he would be the 44th different quarterback this season, highlighting the trend of increased starter changes in the league.
