Marcus Mariota Holds Commanders QB Role Amid Jayden Daniels' Injury Recovery

Marcus Mariota is currently serving as the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders. His position, however, appears contingent on the team's performance, as the door remains open for Jayden Daniels to potentially return from his elbow injury. Daniels, who is not undergoing surgery and will be re-evaluated during the Week 12 bye, could reclaim the starting role, especially if the Commanders continue to struggle with Mariota at the helm. This situation places Mariota in a potentially temporary role.
