Commanders QB Jayden Daniels returned to practice in a limited capacity, but his status for games remains up in the air. Via @ESPNNFL on X

What happened: Daniels took limited reps with Washington in London this week. The team expressed optimism for a return against the Indianapolis Colts or in Week 5 against the New York Giants.

Why it matters: Quarterback availability anchors Washington's preparation during the international trip. Settling the starter shapes game-planning for Indianapolis before a Week 5 date with New York.

By the numbers: In 7 games in 2025 with Washington, he completed 114 of 188 passes for 1,262 yards with 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions (as of 2026-09-29).

What to watch: Watch final practice designations and the game-day inactive list for the decision.
