"Everyone can see that Jayden Daniels wants back into the action. The Northwest Stadium suites couldn't hold him last Sunday night. As his Washington Commanders teammates made their late fourth-quarter drive against the Denver Broncos, then went all gutsy to try to win the game with a two-point conversion, cameras caught Daniels down on the sideline. He was both the Commanders' biggest cheerleader, as well as the organization's most impatient man."
"Daniels, who has missed the last three weeks while recovering from his latest injury, wants to play. He has said so himself. We all can see that. But shouldn't we also recognize the obvious? That there's no way Daniels, the quarterback of this franchise's future, should take another snap in this 2025 season. Because, everyone can see that Jayden Daniels will need a steady No. 2 quarterback for as long as he's in Washington."
Jayden Daniels has missed six games in 2025 while recovering from injuries and wants to return to play. He was visible on the sideline during a late fourth-quarter drive and appeared impatient to rejoin the action. Daniels has a slight frame and plays in a way that makes him a weekly candidate for the injury list despite rare injuries in college. The final five weeks of the season are more significant for the franchise's future than the present. Washington needs a steady No. 2 quarterback and those games can determine whether Marcus Mariota should retain the backup role.
