From the article

The Commanders drafted Athan Kaliakmanis with the expectation that he wouldn't play a meaningful snap this season... a position he earned with a solid preseason despite competition from the well-liked Sam Hartman... Jayden Daniels was unavailable with a left elbow dislocation suffered in Week 2. Then veteran backup Marcus Mariota went down with an MCL injury during the game's second series. That put the Commanders in a bind, turning to Kaliakmanis in a time of need.

Seventh-round pick forced into Week 4 emergency start due to dual QB injuries.

Drafted by Washington in the seventh round with no expectation of meaningful playing time in 2026, Kaliakmanis earned his roster spot with a solid preseason despite competition from Sam Hartman. He was thrust into emergency duty in Week 4 when starter Jayden Daniels remained unavailable with a left elbow dislocation and backup Marcus Mariota suffered an MCL injury in the second series.
