 Jayden Daniels week to week with rib injury; Commanders hopeful QB can play vs. Bears

Ashburn, VA

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is considered week to week with a rib injury ahead of their Week 8 clash with Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, coach Dan Quinn told reporters on Monday.  

Injury Update

Quinn said the rookie's injury is not a long-term issue and that Washington is hopeful Daniels can play this week. "We'll take him through all the steps at practice and assess how he's doing and keep working it through that," Quinn explained. "We're hopeful he can play, but we'll also make sure to take every precautionary step and do it smartly for the player and the man."

Monitoring the Situation

Daniels' injury is not considered to be serious but does require treatment and will be monitored throughout the week, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources.  

Impact on the Commanders

If Daniels is unable to play, the Commanders will likely turn to backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Brissett has experience starting in the NFL and could provide a solid option for the team.

The Commanders will need to monitor Daniels' progress throughout the week and make a decision on his status closer to game time. A healthy Daniels would be a significant boost to the Commanders' offense, as he has shown flashes of potential in his rookie season.
