Washington Commanders to Bench QB Jayden Daniels for Remainder of Season
December 15, 2025 - 18:29
In a significant shift for the Washington Commanders, quarterback Jayden Daniels will not return for the rest of the season as the team faces a disappointing end to their playoff aspirations. With their postseason hopes dashed, the Commanders have decided to turn to backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, who is set to take the helm for the final three games of the year.
This decision comes as the team prepares for a challenging Christmas Day matchup against the rival Dallas Cowboys. Mariota, known for his dual-threat capabilities, will aim to provide a spark to an offense that has struggled throughout the season. The Commanders' coaching staff hopes that this change will not only give Mariota a chance to showcase his skills but also allow Daniels to focus on his development without the pressure of immediate game performance.
As the season winds down, all eyes will be on Mariota as he leads the team in what has been a tumultuous year for the franchise.
