Jayden Daniels Cleared to Start for Commanders at Vikings After Elbow Injury

Washington emphasizes live game reps for the second-year quarterback as a priority for his development.

Overview

  • Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Daniels will start Sunday in Week 14 at Minnesota after missing three games with a dislocated left elbow.
  • Team officials cleared him to play, and he will wear a protective brace on his non-throwing arm.
  • Quinn said finishing out the final five games matters for Daniels’ growth, noting that stretch represents roughly 30% of the season.
  • Commentary flagged health concerns for this matchup, citing the Vikings’ blitz-heavy approach last week that produced four sacks.
  • Daniels said he feels ready, intends to protect himself on scrambles, and wants to help a 3-9 Washington close the season stronger.
