What happened: Jayden Daniels said Thursday he has no concerns about reinjuring his left elbow as he weighs whether to start Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in London. The Washington Commanders quarterback said he is taking the decision day by day and added that the brace is meant to protect the injury.

Why it matters: The update keeps open the chance that Washington gets its starting quarterback back for a matchup already shaped by his elbow issue. Daniels practiced in London with an elbow brace earlier this week, and Thursday's comments point to a player expecting to manage the injury rather than shut it down.

What to watch: Washington's final injury report will be the next checkpoint before Sunday's kickoff. Daniels' practice workload through the rest of the week should offer the clearest read on whether he starts.
