Commanders List Jayden Daniels Week-to-Week, Eye Potential Week 14 Return
The team is balancing long-term caution with a young quarterback’s push to play.
Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports a Dec. 7 game against the Vikings is a realistic target if Jayden Daniels is medically cleared.
- Daniels has resumed practice work but has not been cleared for contact, making him a long shot for Monday night against the Broncos.
- Marcus Mariota is expected to start in Week 13 as Daniels continues rehabilitation from a dislocated left elbow.
- Daniels said he wants to play once healthy, while team discussions about shelving him have not produced a shutdown plan.
- The injury is to his non-throwing arm and is considered less serious than first feared, and receivers Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown are expected to practice to bolster the offense upon his return.
