From @GMFB: The #Commanders expect QB Jayden Daniels back this week. https://t.co/PvAu885zJ2 Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: The Commanders expect Jayden Daniels back this week. Washington drafted him second overall in 2024 out of LSU.

Why it matters: He completed 114 of 188 passes for 1,262 yards in 2025 for Washington. That efficiency in limited action shows top 10 upside. Washington is a different threat with him under center.
