"Jayden Daniels' importance to the Washington Commanders has never been in question. His dynamic ability powered the offense a year ago and remains a central reason for high expectations this season. But this also isn't in question: The offense can work well without him. Three teams have already discovered that since the start of last season, with the Las Vegas Raiders being the latest."
"It's possible the Commanders (2-1) will have to play another game without Daniels when they visit Atlanta (1-2) on Sunday. Daniels' status remains uncertain. But they know even missing one of the game's most explosive quarterbacks that they can produce. It took their entire village. "It speaks to the entire team," Washington coach Dan Quinn said. Washington has succeeded in these games for a variety of reasons, though as Quinn said it often reflects on playing a full team game."
Jayden Daniels remains a dynamic, high-expectations quarterback for the Washington Commanders, but the offense has proven capable without him. Washington won 41-24 with Daniels sidelined by a knee injury, gaining 400 yards and scoring 34 offensive points plus a punt-return touchdown. The Commanders are 3-0 in games without Daniels since last season, helped by confidence in veteran backup Marcus Mariota. Daniels' status for the upcoming Atlanta game remains uncertain. Coach Dan Quinn credited the collective effort and said the result reflects a full-team game with varied contributions across offense, special teams and defense.
