"The Washington Commanders got the job done in Week 3 without quarterback Jayden Daniels leading the charge. If they want to go deep into the postseason for the second-straight year, they'll need the dynamic signal-caller fit and firing on all cylinders sooner rather than later. Daniels suffered a knee sprain against the Green Bay Packers and wasn't risked at Northwest Stadium. Marcus Mariota came in and did an admirable job as the Commanders attained a comfortable victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. He'd have no trouble doing the same versus another of his old teams this weekend, but this team will only go as far as Daniels takes it when push comes to shove."
"With wide receiver Terry McLaurin becoming the latest health concern, and veteran safety Will Harris being placed on injured reserve with a broken fibula, Daniels' status is crucial. Nothing has been confirmed one way or another as yet. Still, the former LSU sensation was back on the practice field in a limited capacity to begin preparations for the Atlanta Falcons."
"The No. 2 pick in 2024 also spoke with reporters after practice. It was short as usual, but Daniels stated that he's feeling good and wants to play in Week 4. If that means wearing a brace on his knee, so be it. Jayden Daniels: "It's up to the doctors, not my decision."Also: "I feel good."- John Keim (@john_keim) September 24, 2025 The Commanders will only risk Daniels if they are 100 percent satisfied that there will be no risk of further damage. If the issue restricts his mobility and ability to make plays, that's another big problem."
The Commanders secured a Week 3 victory with backup Marcus Mariota after Jayden Daniels suffered a knee sprain against the Green Bay Packers and was held out at Northwest Stadium. Mariota provided an effective relief performance in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin and safety Will Harris are additional health concerns, with Harris placed on injured reserve with a broken fibula. Daniels returned to practice in a limited capacity while preparing for the Atlanta Falcons. Daniels said he feels good and wants to play in Week 4, but medical staff and the team will make the decision. The team will only play Daniels if there is no risk of further damage and if he can move effectively.
