Jayden Daniels Cleared to Practice Fully Ahead of Commanders–Chargers

Top target Terry McLaurin is out, with Noah Brown also sidelined, intensifying lineup strains for Washington.

Overview

  • Team doctors cleared Daniels and he practiced in full wearing a knee brace, with the quarterback saying he plans to play in Week 5 at Los Angeles.
  • Coach Dan Quinn said Daniels took all first-team reps to reestablish timing after a two-game absence, noting the team went 1-1 with Marcus Mariota.
  • Pro Bowl wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) have been ruled out and will not travel for Sunday’s game.
  • Washington placed defensive end Javontae Jean-Baptiste on injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle requiring surgery, and opened a 21-day return window for guard Sam Cosmi.
  • The Chargers are 3-1 but depleted up front, with Rashawn Slater out for the season, Joe Alt sidelined by a high ankle sprain and Khalil Mack out with an elbow injury, while their defense ranks third in yards allowed.
