The Washington Commanders were down to their QB3 in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, as Marcus Mariota injured the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. With Mariota injured and Jayden Daniels working to get back on the field, the Commanders worked outa quarterback, but don't plan on signing him at the moment, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

“The Commanders worked out QB Jack Plummer this morning. The former Panthers QB and UFL MVP with the [UFL Storm] threw well and could be a consideration down the line. But Marcus Mariota isn’t going on IR right now so Washington will keep rolling with their four in-house QBs,” Garafolo wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Plummer may very well be an option for the Commanders if they suffer any other injuries at the quarterback position, but things actually seem to be looking up for them.

There's a good chance that Daniels returns in Week 5 after his elbow injury a few weeks ago, and that's the news that the Commanders want to hear. Outside of the quarterbacks, the team dealt with more injuries against the Colts, as Charles Omenihu was also ruled out at halftime, and Jaylin Lane was carted off in the third quarter.

Through all the injuries, head coach Dan Quinn is still trying to stay positive.

“A good fire has been lit and so it will stay lit,” Quinn said ESPN's John Keim. “It has not dampened my belief in them in any way. But it is difficult to overcome some of the injuries, but I'm certain these are the right guys that battle and fight for it. They are one of the more connected groups I've been around and that will be really important to move us forward.”
