Jayden Daniels is still stuck in a “jog format” at practice for the Commanders, which is wild considering he’s in London with the team right now preparing for the Colts. Coach Dan Quinn gave us the update, saying Daniels will be a limited participant on the injury report. This comes after Daniels missed last Sunday’s win over our Seahawks with a dislocated left elbow he picked up back in Week 2. You gotta wonder what’s going on here.
Daniels’ Elbow Is Still a Major Hurdle
Look, Daniels making the trip to London is one thing, but being limited to just a “jog format” at practice? That’s not exactly inspiring confidence. Quinn himself said that even if it had been a full practice, Daniels would still only be in the limited category. This dislocated left elbow is clearly nagging him way more than they might want to admit. Marcus Mariota stepped in to start in Week 3, and the Commanders are playing it coy, saying they’ll announce their starter for this week closer to Sunday’s game. It feels like they’re holding their breath, hoping Daniels somehow magically gets better, but these updates don’t paint a pretty picture for their quarterback situation.
Injuries Mounting After the Seahawks Game
It’s not just Daniels either, though he’s obviously the biggest name. Quinn did mention that everyone else on the team would participate in the jog, *except* for running back Rachaad White. White actually injured his shoulder *against* our Seattle squad last week, which adds another layer to their injury woes. And if that wasn’t enough, guard Sam Cosmi and safety Nick Scott didn’t even make the flight to London, so they’re definitely out for the game. The Commanders might have gotten the win against the Seahawks last week, but it sounds like they paid a price, with injuries popping up all over the roster.
So, the Commanders are in London, limping into a game against the Colts. Who lines up under center is the biggest question mark hanging over their heads. Will it be Mariota again, or can Daniels make enough progress from his “jog format” to get the nod? It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out on Sunday.
