Jayden Daniels

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said, “Jayden [Daniels] is not injured right now,” when asked about his health heading into Week 12.

Quinn blamed Daniels’ recent struggles on him missing “a lot of practice that impacted the offense” while recovering from his injury, which he suffered in Week 7. Per the team’s injury reports, Daniels was a DNP in two of three practices leading up to Week 8 and has been listed as a limited/full participant on every injury report since then. Daniels wasn’t listed on the injury report at all ahead of Weeks 10 or 11. Daniels can be seen during games receiving treatment on the sidelines for what appears to be the same rib injury he suffered over a month ago. Whether his struggles are as a result of that injury or not is anybody’s guess, but the Commanders have continuously downplayed whatever injury he does/does not have. Daniels will be a high-end QB1 in Week 12 when he faces the Cowboys.
