Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) has chance to return in Week 14 vs. Vikings
Our Summary
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is nearing a return from a dislocated left elbow, potentially playing against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. Daniels, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined for four weeks following the injury sustained in a Week 10 game against Seattle. He has not yet been cleared for contact and remains limited in practice. Marcus Mariota will start his third consecutive game against the Denver Broncos, with the team having won just one of his six starts. The Commanders, currently at 3-8, are more likely to secure a high draft pick than a playoff spot, with a loss to Denver guaranteeing their eighth non-winning season in nine years. Despite the challenging season, Daniels expressed his eagerness to return to the field, emphasizing his competitive spirit. Washington's game against Denver is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET.
