- Jayden Daniels returned to full practice participation and is set to start Sunday against the New York Giants, with no limitations from his dislocated left elbow
- David Blough stated Daniels will be 'full go' in the game plan, confirming the quarterback faces no operational constraints due to his injury
- Jayden Daniels has worn a black brace that slightly bends his left elbow since re-injuring it in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, a joint he first dislocated in Week 9 last season
- Jayden Daniels said the current brace differs from last year’s model and does not interfere with snapping or handing off, as he continues adapting to its use
- Washington Commanders have managed an injury-plagued season, with Daniels already missing two games this year due to the non-throwing arm issue
Why it matters: Daniels playing without restrictions preserves Washington’s offensive ceiling as they face a 3-1 Giants team; the repeated elbow injury increases physical risk for a rookie QB whose running ability is central to the team’s strategy, making durability a material concern for the remainder of the season.
