Dan Quinn just made his stance on Jayden Daniels crystal clear

"Jayden Daniels was despondent when he was told his services would not be needed again in 2025. The Washington Commanders took the long-term view, with the quarterback still awaiting medical clearance, bringing an abrupt and somber end to his sophomore NFL campaign. Despite this setback, head coach Dan Quinn believes Daniels can still gain a significant amount from his altered role over the coming weeks before attention turns to the offseason. He made his stance on that crystal clear."

"We believe this decision allows him to take advantage of the next few weeks in a different way. He wants to practice and he will practice. He also wants to support Marcus [Mariota] in a way that Marcus has demonstrated and helped him. I thought that was significant. We all know the best way to grow is during the games, but with that, not being the best way for us, there's plenty of ways for him to learn, over the next three weeks."

Jayden Daniels was informed he will not be needed again in 2025, ending his sophomore NFL season while he still awaits medical clearance. The Washington Commanders adopted a long-term perspective and shifted Daniels into a supporting role rather than returning him to play. Daniels intends to continue practicing and to support veteran Marcus Mariota. Dan Quinn expects Daniels to learn from observing and practicing over the next weeks, gaining perspective despite missing game reps. Daniels endured hamstring and knee issues and a dislocated elbow that disrupted his early-season rhythm; he returned in Week 14 but the team ultimately shut him down for the year.
