Jayden Daniels to Make Pro Debut in Commanders' Preseason Opener

Washington's rookie quarterback will see action against the New York Jets, as Coach Dan Quinn confirms his participation.

Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick, has been sharing first-team snaps with veteran Marcus Mariota during training camp.
Coach Quinn has not yet named Daniels the regular-season starter but is impressed with his progress and command of the offense.
The Commanders' preseason opener is set for Saturday at MetLife Stadium.
Daniels' dual-threat capability was showcased during his Heisman-winning season at LSU.
Washington aims to evaluate Daniels' readiness for the starting role through preseason performances.
