Commanders Reassess Jayden Daniels’ Return as Insiders Outline Play-If-Cleared Plan

Washington enters its bye at 3-8 with contingency talks that include a longer absence or a shutdown.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports Washington still plans to start Jayden Daniels once doctors clear his dislocated left elbow.
  • Jeremy Fowler says the club has loosely braced for a five-to-six-week recovery, leaving a season shutdown on the table.
  • Daniels has not been placed on injured reserve, keeping a potential Week 13 return against Denver in play if he is cleared.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn says he will balance trying to win with developing younger players as the team rides a six-game skid.
  • Off the field, Daniels joined 3 Arts Sports to launch a production company, while voices range from Jay Gruden urging a late-season return to national pundits questioning his durability.
