Marcus Mariota to Lead Commanders Offense with McLaurin, Samuel Back

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota is set to lead the team's offense in Week 8 against the Chiefs, benefiting from the return of wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel. Both McLaurin (quad) and Samuel (heel) have been cleared from their respective injury reports and are expected to handle full workloads. Mariota will be tasked with navigating Kansas City's sixth-ranked wide receiver defense, with his top targets now fully available.
