Potentially one more week of Jalon Daniels... Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Per RapSheet, the timeline is potentially one more week of Daniels. Initial game-planning centers on Daniels ahead of a Wednesday thumb check for Mayfield.

Why it matters: Sticking with Daniels gives the offense continuity in preparation. It also preserves the path for Mayfield to reclaim the role if cleared after the midweek check.

What to watch: The midweek evaluation will determine whether Mayfield reclaims the role or Daniels holds it for another week.
