Could Athan Kaliakmanis be the NEXT MAN UP for the Commanders?
Jayden Daniels looks like he's getting closer to a return, but if JD5 can't go in Week 5 — and with Marcus Mariota also dealing with an injury — I think Washington could turn to Kaliakmanis rather than bringing in a veteran quarterback.
And I actually don't mind it.
Athan fought hard after being thrown into a difficult situation against Indianapolis, and there's no guarantee a veteran on short notice performs any better.
If Washington needs him again, I'd give the young quarterback another opportunity
PLUS — some Commanders RB REGRETS.
Brian Robinson just exploded for THREE touchdowns on Monday night with Atlanta.
But I'm actually MORE upset that Washington let Chris Rodriguez go.
With the Commanders struggling to establish a consistent rushing attack, Rodriguez could've had a real role in this backfield.
Did Washington make a mistake letting BOTH running backs go?
