Coach Dan Quinn said Monday the team is hopeful Daniels will be able to play Sunday. The rookie quarterback is being listed as “week to week” after being injured early in Sunday’s 40-7 rout of Carolina. “This is not something that’s a long-term issue,” Quinn said.

Daniels, the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, has starred for Washington since earning the starting job in training camp. Over seven games, Daniels has thrown for 1,410 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions while completing 75.6% of his passes. He also has rushed 66 times for 372 yards and four scores.

The Washington Commanders have injury concerns at quarterback. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a left rib injury in the first quarter against the Carolina Panthers. The star rookie signal-caller exited the game and went to the locker room.
