WASHINGTON \u2014 Quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss the Washington Commanders’ game at the Kansas City Chiefs because of an injured right hamstring and Marcus Mariota will start in his place, a person with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not officially ruled him out for the Monday night game.<\/p>\n

Washington (3-4) has lost two games in a row heading into the contest at Kansas City (4-3).<\/p>\n

Daniels<\/a> had an MRI exam a day after leaving in the third quarter of Washington\u2019s 44-22 loss at the NFC East-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. He grabbed at the back of his right leg while limping off the field after getting sacked and fumbling.<\/p>\n

Daniels, the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year last season, already has missed two games this season because of an injury to his left knee, on which he\u2019s been wearing a brace. Washington went 1-1 in those games with Mariota starting in his place.<\/p>\n

Against Dallas, Mariota came in to replace Daniels and threw a pick-6 on his second pass of the day.<\/p>\n
