"Daniels has missed the last two games after suffering a knee sprain in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. The Commanders weren't quite satisfied with his mobility despite the signal-caller's limited return to practice, and he stayed at home while his teammates went to Atlanta. Considering how competitive Daniels is, this was probably an interesting conversation. Marcus Mariota is a capable understudy, but he lacks the creativity and dynamism that his teammate brings to the position under center."
"The head coach revealed that Daniels had received medical clearance to practice in full. Quinn wants to see the player handle his typical workload. He wants to see his fluid movements return, and the timing with his depleted wide receiver corps click once again. After that, it'll be all systems go. Mariota is a better backup than most around the league."
Jayden Daniels missed two games after suffering a knee sprain in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers and was held out for precautionary reasons. The Commanders withheld him from the Atlanta game due to lingering mobility concerns despite a limited return to practice. Marcus Mariota started in his absence but lacks Daniels' creativity and dynamism. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Daniels has been medically cleared to practice in full and wants to see full workload, fluid movement, and timing with a depleted receiving corps. If practices progress without issue, Daniels may resume without an injury designation and remain central to postseason hopes.
