Marcus Mariota (knee) will not return in Week 4 against the Colts.

04 October 2026

Per head coach Dan Quinn, Mariota re-injured the MCL in his right knee. He initially suffered the MCL injury during the preseason. The fact that he suffered a setback almost two months after the initial injury suggests this could be a long-term absence. It will be seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis for the rest of this game. The hope is that Jayden Daniels will be back for Week 5.
