Jayden Daniels, the Commanders’ starting quarterback whose dislocated left elbow kept him out of their Week 3 win over our Seattle Seahawks, was still limited in Wednesday’s practice. This isn’t just a minor ding; the guy couldn’t even participate in team work, according to coach Dan Quinn.
Jayden Daniels Is Stuck in Limbo
Coach Quinn was pretty clear before practice: Daniels wasn’t going to be doing any team drills. His status for Sunday’s game in London against the Colts is still totally up in the air. Quinn said, and I’m quoting him here, “We won’t put him out there before he’s ready.” Sounds like they’re playing it super safe, which, honestly, you’ve gotta respect. He did add that “him being back on the field, that’s a good step for us.” But come on, ‘limited’ is a long way from ‘ready to sling it.’
More Than Just Daniels: Washington’s Injury Nightmare
It’s not just Daniels wrestling with injuries either. The Commanders are facing a full-blown crisis. Rachaad White, their running back, is out with a shoulder injury. Offensive guard Sam Cosmi is sidelined with a concussion and throat issue, and safety Nick Corss won’t play due to illness. Those three didn’t even make the trip to London! Plus, Daniels is just one of TEN Commanders who were limited in practice. We’re talking offensive lineman Nick Allegretti (hip), safety Percy Butler (concussion), defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (back/shoulder), linebacker Frankie Luvu (groin), tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring), defensive end Charles Omenihu (ankle), offensive lineman Lucas Patrick (foot), cornerback Amik Robertson (knee), and tight end Ben Sinnott (rib). That’s a brutal list, man. You gotta wonder how they’re even fielding a full squad for their London trip.
So, while our Seahawks are focused on what’s next for us, it’s pretty clear the Commanders have some massive hurdles ahead. Their starting QB is still battling an elbow injury that cost him our Week 3 game, and their roster is just hammered. Sunday’s game against the Colts is gonna be a real test for them, especially with so many key players either out or hobbling. What a mess for Washington, and honestly? Good for our Hawks.
