Jayden Daniels' Rib Injury Leaves Commanders QB in Doubt for Bears Game

The rookie quarterback's absence from practice raises concerns about his availability for Washington's upcoming matchup against Chicago.

Jayden Daniels, the Commanders' rookie QB, has missed two consecutive practices due to a rib injury sustained in a recent game against the Panthers.
Daniels' injury occurred during a 46-yard run, the first offensive play of Washington's 40-7 victory over Carolina.
Veteran Marcus Mariota took first-team reps in Daniels' absence and is expected to start if Daniels cannot play against the Bears.
Head coach Dan Quinn has not yet provided a definitive update on Daniels' status, with further information anticipated after Friday's practice.
Despite the injury, Daniels has been a standout performer this season, leading the league in completion percentage and being a frontrunner for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
