What happened: Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels warmed up with a basketball in the rain ahead of Sunday's contest against the New York Giants. The quarterback was seen getting loose on the field as the team prepared for kickoff.

Why it matters: Daniels enters the matchup after suffering a dislocated elbow in September. The rookie was designated as a 'full go' for Sunday, providing a key piece for a Washington offense looking to find traction.

By the numbers: Washington enters the contest with a 2-5 record and averages 17.7 points per game. The visiting Giants arrive with a 5-2 mark and a two-game winning streak while allowing 14.4 points per contest.

What to watch: The Commanders host the Giants as they look to snap their recent losing streak.
