Commanders Plan to Use Starters Against Lions, Jayden Daniels' Status Uncertain

During a Thursday press conference, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn outlined plans for Saturday's game against the Lions, indicating that many starters are expected to play. However, the status of quarterback Jayden Daniels is still uncertain.

Quinn noted that the decision regarding Daniels will depend on the overall lineup. If Daniels does not participate, quarterbacks Sam Hartman and Athan Kaliakmanis are prepared to step in. Additionally, center Nick Allegretti will miss the game due to an aggravated calf injury, while running back Rachaad White is sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained last week.
