"The Washington Commanders chose not to risk quarterback Jayden Daniels in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons. He was pushing hard to play, but the medical team wasn't entirely satisfied with his progress when push came to shove. That was no doubt disappointing for Daniels. He's a competitive guy who wants to be on the field at all times, assisting his teammates with his dynamic approach."
"He's got a chance for Week 5 against the Chargers. They feel like in Washington, he's trending in the right direction here. This wasn't quite clear on the knee issue. Part of this is a mobility factor. This is a true dual threat quarterback ... They want to make sure that he can do everything he needs. So he did get close. He was pushing to play this week, practiced two days."
Jayden Daniels was held out of Week 4 because the medical staff remained unsatisfied with his knee recovery and mobility despite his eagerness to play. The team prioritized protecting its franchise quarterback by erring on the side of caution. Medical staff noted mobility is crucial for a true dual-threat quarterback, and Daniels practiced two days and pushed to play but did not reach the required threshold. Jeremy Fowler indicated Daniels is trending in the right direction and has a chance for Week 5 against the Chargers. Terry McLaurin is week-to-week and uncertain, while Marcus Mariota served capably as the backup.
