Jayden Daniels Cleared, On Track to Return vs. Chargers as Commanders Rule Out Terry McLaurin

Washington will be shorthanded after ruling out Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown, plus guard Sam Cosmi.

Overview

  • Team doctors cleared Daniels for full practice this week, he wore a knee brace, and he said he plans to play Sunday pending final medical sign-off.
  • Washington ruled out Terry McLaurin (quad), Noah Brown (groin/knee) and Sam Cosmi, with all three not traveling for Week 5 in Los Angeles.
  • The Commanders are 2-2 after a two-game stretch with Marcus Mariota starting, while Daniels missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a left knee sprain.
  • The Chargers enter 3-1 with a defense ranked near the top of the league by yards allowed, posing a tough matchup for a depleted Washington receiving corps.
  • Los Angeles is also managing key injuries, including season-ending Rashawn Slater, a multi-week absence for Joe Alt with a high ankle sprain, and Khalil Mack sidelined with an elbow injury.
