Quarterback Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders is practicing but is considered a long shot to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday due to a dislocated left elbow. Daniels has missed five games this season due to various injuries, including a knee sprain, hamstring injury, and elbow injury, but has not required surgery. Coach Dan Quinn emphasized the importance of Daniels' safe return and development at the quarterback position. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow's recent comments are seen as ending the debate surrounding Daniels' playing time. Daniels, the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, has completed 1,184 passing yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions in six games, and has also run for 262 yards and two scores. The Commanders, currently 3-8, are on a six-game losing streak and face an uphill battle for playoff contention. In addition to Daniels, wide receiver Terry McLaurin and receiver Noah Brown returned to practice in limited capacity. McLaurin has missed seven of the past eight games with a quad injury but is expected to return soon. Brown has been on injured reserve since Week 2 with groin and knee issues. Other players, including Zach Ertz, Von Miller, and Laremy Tunsil, did not practice, while several others participated fully. The team aims to assess the full projected starting lineup to better understand their needs moving forward. Overall, Daniels' return remains uncertain, but his participation in practice signifies ongoing recovery efforts, and his presence could be beneficial for the Commanders' offense as they seek to improve their season.
