Overview

  • Jayden Daniels practiced on a limited basis for a second straight day and said his Week 4 availability is up to the medical staff, not him.
  • Terry McLaurin missed practice for a second day with a quad listing after visiting core‑muscle specialist Dr. William Meyers, with NFL Network characterizing his outlook for this week as trending negative.
  • Wideouts Noah Brown and John Bates also did not practice Thursday, and rookie RB Jacory Croskey‑Merritt was a DNP while working in full pads with strength staff, with final designations due Friday.
  • If Daniels is not cleared, Marcus Mariota is in line for a second start after running and throwing for touchdowns in last week’s 41-24 win over the Raiders.
  • Washington ranks second in the NFL at 157.3 rushing yards per game, and coach Dan Quinn emphasized a depth-driven, next‑man‑up approach while injuries are sorted out.
