Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels just hit the practice field for the first time since dislocating his left elbow way back in their Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. Yeah, you heard that right, he’s finally back out there! His return to game action was the main event at his press conference on Thursday, and honestly, can you blame anyone for being hyped?
Daniels Says He’s “Day By Day” After Elbow Dislocation
So, the big question right now is whether Daniels will be on the field for Sunday’s game against the Colts in London. He hasn’t been ruled out, which is huge, but when he was pressed on whether he thinks he’ll be able to play, his answer was pretty standard for someone coming back from this kind of injury. He’s taking things one day at a time, telling everyone, “I feel good, feel good to be back. Just taking it day by day.” It’s not a definitive “yes,” but it’s not a “no” either, and that’s enough to keep the tension cranked up to eleven for Sunday.
The Brace That Stops Full Extension: What It Means For Daniels
Now, here’s where it gets really interesting. Daniels is sporting a brace on his left arm when he’s out on the field. He said that this brace actually keeps him from being able to fully extend that arm. You’d think that would be a massive limitation for a quarterback, right? But Daniels added that it *doesn’t* limit him in any way when it comes to throwing or handing off. That’s a pretty wild statement, considering the visual. Is he really not limited, or is he just being tough? We’ll all be watching closely to see if he gets the green light to show off those skills this weekend.
It all comes down to Sunday’s game against the Colts in London. Will Daniels suit up and show off those skills he feels good about, brace and all? Everyone’s waiting to find out if he’s cleared to roll, and that decision could shake up the Commanders’ early season big time.
