Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is set to miss his third game of the season on Monday night against the Chiefs as a result of the low-grade hamstring strain he suffered last Sunday against the Cowboys, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Daniels, who has already previously missed time this season with a knee sprain, will be out of the lineup once again. Marcus Mariota is set to return to the starting quarterback role against Kansas City.

Daniels has completed 61.0% of his passes this season for 1,031 yards and eight touchdowns to one interception. Washington has missed his presence in the lineup consistently, as the franchise has struggled thus far to a 3-4 record.

The Commanders reached the NFC title game a year ago, and without a consistently healthy Daniels, will struggle to return.

The Commanders and Chiefs are set to kick on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET on Oct. 27.
