Jayden Daniels Cleared to Start for Commanders Against Giants

Quarterback Jayden Daniels has been cleared to play for the Washington Commanders in their game against the New York Giants on Sunday. Head coach Dan Quinn announced that Daniels will start after missing the last two games due to a dislocated left elbow.

Daniels sustained the injury during a Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys while trying to brace himself during a fall. The Commanders opted for a cautious recovery approach, allowing him extra time to heal instead of rushing him back for their Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

After returning to practice last week and completing a full week of training, Daniels is expected to wear a protective brace on his arm during the game. His return is crucial for Washington, which has struggled in his absence, falling to a 1-3 record. The Commanders hope his dual-threat capabilities will enhance their offensive performance against a strong Giants team.
