Overview

  • Daniels was a limited participant Wednesday and remains day-to-day with a left knee sprain sustained in Week 2.
  • Asked about playing in Atlanta, Daniels said he feels good but reiterated the decision rests with team doctors.
  • Coach Dan Quinn stressed a cautious return-to-play approach and pointed to Friday for clearer guidance on both players.
  • McLaurin missed Wednesday’s practice with a quad injury and is seeking additional opinions, with reports saying he is very much in doubt for Sunday.
  • Marcus Mariota, who went 15-of-21 for 207 yards with a passing and rushing TD in Week 3, would start again if Daniels is not cleared, as Washington prepares for a Falcons defense ranking among the NFL’s best against the pass.
