"The Washington Commanders have some new (and concerning) injury problems to navigate before their Week 3 clash against the Las Vegas Raiders at Northwest Stadium. Austin Ekeler (Achilles) and Deatrich Wise Jr. (quad) both suffered season-ending complications. Most costly of all, star quarterback Jayden Daniels is dealing with a knee sprain that has left his status in question. The Commanders face a tough decision regarding Daniels' availability."
"The Raiders fell to the Los Angeles Chargers at home. Quarterback Geno Smith threw three interceptions, and feared offensive weapons in tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty struggled to make an impact. Simply put, this is a team the Commanders can beat, with or without Daniels. Washington will also be playing on sme extended rest, while the Raiders will be on a short week."
"Marcus Mariota is in Washington for a reason. He had a solid outing against the Carolina Panthers last season when he was thrust into the action for most of the afternoon. It's worth noting that he was also dealing with Achilles tendinitis over the summer. This held him out of the preseason, but he hasn't been on the injury report since the real action began."
The Washington Commanders enter Week 3 coping with multiple injuries, including season-ending losses of Austin Ekeler (Achilles) and Deatrich Wise Jr. (quad), while Jayden Daniels suffers a knee sprain that leaves his availability uncertain. The Raiders recently lost to the Chargers, with Geno Smith throwing three interceptions and key offensive weapons failing to make an impact, presenting a beatable opponent even without Daniels. Washington has extended rest and home-field advantage in Landover while Las Vegas faces a short week. Marcus Mariota provides experienced depth after a solid outing last season. Cautious handling of Daniels is necessary to avoid long-term harm.
