Jayden Daniels: If I'm healthy and ready to go, I want to be out there

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is determined to return to the field despite a significant elbow injury suffered during the team's November 2 loss to Seattle. Head coach Dan Quinn announced that Daniels is set to resume practice, although he has not been cleared for contact yet. With the Commanders holding a 3-8 record, there have been discussions about potentially resting Daniels for the remainder of the season to ensure his health for 2026. However, Daniels has expressed a strong desire to play if he is healthy, emphasizing his competitive nature and commitment to giving his all on the field. He is currently focused on a day-by-day recovery process without setting a specific timeline for his return. In the current season, Daniels has completed 62.5% of his passes, accumulating 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions over six games.
