Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota left the team's Week 4 contest versus the Indianapolis Colts in London with a knee injury and is questionable to return.
Mariota suffered the ailment after taking a hit in the pocket in the first quarter. He spent time in the medical tent before heading to the locker room.

Rookie signal-caller Athan Kaliakmanis replaced Mariota on the next drive. Kaliakmanis was selected in the seventh round of the 2026 draft out of Rutgers. He was the Scarlet Knights' primary starter for two seasons before entering the NFL, throwing for 5,820 yards with 38 touchdowns and 14 interceptions during that stretch.
Mariota started for Jayden Daniels, who's sidelined due to a dislocated elbow sustained in Week 2. Mariota also started in last week's 33-31 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
Daniels was ruled out on Friday's injury report after practicing as a limited participant all week.
