Commanders’ Jayden Daniels Day-to-Day With Knee Sprain, Week 3 Status Uncertain

The team plans to decide after Wednesday practice based on return-to-play markers.

Overview

  • An MRI after Thursday’s loss in Green Bay confirmed a knee sprain, which NFL Network reported is not considered a long-term injury.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn said Daniels has begun the return-to-play process and is officially listed as day-to-day.
  • His availability for Sunday’s home game against the Raiders remains in doubt and will hinge on how he responds in practice this week.
  • Veteran Marcus Mariota would start if Daniels is held out, with Josh Johnson next up on the depth chart.
  • Daniels was sacked four times and hit 12 times vs. the Packers, limping after a late tackle by Kingsley Enagbare, as Washington also absorbed season-ending injuries to Austin Ekeler and Deatrich Wise Jr.
