Jayden Daniels just took a “good step” in his recovery from an elbow injury, and that’s the biggest news hitting the Commanders ahead of their Week 4 showdown in London. Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters on Wednesday that the team hasn’t ruled out their QB for Sunday’s game, which is a massive signal of hope.
The Week’s Wild Ride: Will Daniels Suit Up?
Quinn spilled the beans on Wednesday, confirming Daniels had limited participation in a “jog-through” practice. That’s a huge shift from where things have been. The coach laid out the plan: “As we’re working through the week, he’ll get more reps… As we get into Thursday and Friday, we’ll see what that load looks like.” So, basically, it’s a wait-and-see game, with a “definite determination” coming by Friday. Commanders fans are definitely glued to every update.
Brace Yourself for the Return?
ESPN’s John Keim even dropped videos showing Daniels throwing, brace and all, on his left arm. Quinn made it clear they’re not rushing anything, saying, “We’re not going to put him out there before he’s ready, so that’s why it’s important for us to trust the process as we’re going.” But the excitement is real because, as Quinn put it, “him being back on the field is like, man, that’s a good step for us.” Every rep, every throw, it’s all building to that Friday decision.
The Commanders are gearing up for a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff this Sunday across the pond against the Indianapolis Colts. Everyone’s waiting to see if Daniels will be leading the charge when the lights come on.
