Jayden Daniels Still Not Cleared as Commanders Target Friday Decision on Week 14

Clearance hinges on functional-contact testing overseen by team doctors.

Overview

  • Head coach Dan Quinn said Monday the quarterback remains without contact clearance and that a call on his availability for the Vikings could come Friday.
  • Daniels logged limited practices last week, threw at high intensity, and is being evaluated on functional drills such as stiff-arming and diving.
  • He sustained a dislocated left elbow in Week 9 against the Seahawks, with reports indicating no ligament damage or broken bones.
  • A video of Daniels’ mother suggesting he will return next week circulated on social media, though the team has issued no medical clearance.
  • If Daniels is not cleared, Marcus MariotaWashington’s starter for the past three games—would face Minnesota as the 3-9 Commanders look to halt a seven-game slide.
