Commanders' trusted starter is subtly becoming an overlooked problem

The Washington Commanders had a disastrous Week 7 showing against arch-rival Dallas Cowboys, losing by multiple scores and dropping below .500 for the first time this season.

What was already a sizable list of injuries for the Commanders now includes star quarterback Jayden Daniels, who will miss at least Washington's next contest against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football with a low-grade hamstring strain.

Still, injuries are no excuse for a team that entered the campaign with high hopes for another deep playoff run after last year's NFC Championship game appearance.
