"All eyes at the start of the year were on Washington's second-year franchise signal-caller, Jayden Daniels, who put together one of the best rookie quarterback seasons in NFL history a year ago. In 2025, he's played in only two games, in which he was solid but unspectacular. The Commanders' offensive performance in Week 2 against the Packers was one of the worst of the Daniels era."
"Wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown and tight end John Bates are additionally on the shelf, and running back Austin Ekeler suffered a torn Achilles in that same Week 2 contest. Right guard Sam Cosmi has also been out all year with a torn ACL, though a return looks likely soon. Daniels is back under center against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5, and all things considered, the offense held its own with backup Marcus Mariota in his place."
The Washington Commanders sit at 2-2 after four games, alternating home victories and road defeats. Jayden Daniels has appeared in just two games and sustained a knee sprain after a poor Week 2 performance against the Packers. Multiple offensive starters are sidelined, including Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown, John Bates, and Austin Ekeler, who suffered a torn Achilles. Right guard Sam Cosmi remains out with a torn ACL but could return soon. Backup Marcus Mariota started in Daniels' absence and helped the offense function competently. The defensive front has generated a solid pass rush and limited opposing running games.
