Marcus Mariota to start for Commanders as Colts land in London for Week 4 game
The Colts arrived in England Friday morning and are preparing for their Week 4 London matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Washington ruled out Jayden Daniels on Friday, making Marcus Mariota the expected starter on Sunday.

Colts.com reports the team landed in England Friday morning; cornerback Cam Bynum said sleeping on a plane isn’t an issue for him. Washington ruled out starter Jayden Daniels on Friday, meaning Marcus Mariota will be under center at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Coach Shane Steichen said the club tries to maintain an east‑coast schedule on these overseas trips.
Colts defenders emphasized building on progress from their 19–17 win over the Houston Texans, with Pro Football Focus tagging the Colts with just four missed tackles in Week 3. Players noted Washington’s receiving duo — Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs, who have combined for more than 18,000 career receiving yards and 100 total touchdowns — and said the team is preparing for the Commanders’ offense and new coordinator David Blough, who called a 33‑point performance in Week 3.
