Jayden Daniels is officially a full participant for Thursday’s practice, looking “full go” for Sunday’s game against the Giants, according to offensive coordinator David Blough. The dude’s even embracing a brace on his left elbow so he can play. Sounds great, right? Except his top two receivers, Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs, were both DNPs for the second straight day with hamstring issues.
Jayden Daniels Is Playing Through Pain, And Nobody Can Question His Fire
Daniels is pushing through some serious pain to get back on the field. He told reporters on Wednesday that he’s embracing wearing a brace on his left elbow, all so he can play. This isn’t a new issue for him either, as he originally dislocated that left elbow again during Washington’s Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. To come back after that, especially against a division rival like the Giants, shows some serious grit. This guy wants to be out there for his team, no question.
Two Top Receivers DNP For Second Day: This Is a Nightmare Scenario For Sunday
While Daniels is suiting up, his target options are looking seriously thin. Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs, two of the team’s top receivers, both did not participate in practice for the second consecutive day, both dealing with hamstring issues. That’s a massive blow to the offense, and it means Daniels is going to have to work extra hard to move the ball. On the brighter side of the injury report, guard Sam Cosmi (concussion/throat), tight end Ben Sinnott (rib), and linebacker Sonny Styles (groin) all got upgraded from limited to full participation. However, offensive lineman Nick Allegretti (hip/Achilles) was downgraded from limited to DNP, and safety Nick Cross (illness) went from full to limited. Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee), safety Percy Butler (hamstring), defensive end Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle), and safety Tyler Owens (hamstring) are still on that lengthy injury report.
So, Daniels is back, showing serious guts. But man, playing the Giants without McLaurin and Diggs? That’s a whole different ballgame. Washington’s gonna need some serious magic on Sunday.
