What happened: Washington Commanders tight end Colson Yankoff is the designated emergency quarterback against the Indianapolis Colts. The coaching staff is preparing him for a potential debut under center as Athan Kaliakmanis sustains consistent pressure and contact.

Why it matters: An inactive Luke McCaffrey and an earlier injury to Marcus Mariota leave the depth chart severely tested. Forcing a tight end into the primary passing role would dramatically alter Washington's offensive playbook.

What to watch: Watch whether Kaliakmanis can withstand the defensive pressure or if Washington is forced to deploy Yankoff.
