Overview

  • Head coach Dan Quinn said the team held a final medical meeting Wednesday on second opinions for Jayden Daniels and expects to share a plan within a day.
  • Washington has not placed Daniels, who dislocated his left (non-throwing) elbow, on injured reserve, keeping a potential return possible even as he is set to miss games.
  • Marcus Mariota will start in Week 10 with Josh Johnson as his backup, and sportsbooks list Detroit as a sizable road favorite.
  • The club placed WR Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) and CB Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) on injured reserve and signed WR Treylon Burks to the 53-man roster, with CB Tre Hawkins added to the practice squad.
  • The NFL trade deadline passed with no Commanders deals or veteran quarterback addition despite pre-deadline chatter, pointing to internal roster solutions for now.
