Positive signs

The Washington Commanders made QB Jayden Daniels a game-time decision due to his rib injury from last week. He's officially listed as questionable, but Adam Schefter reports that all signs point to him playing against the Chicago Bears today.

The Commanders still will need to see how Daniels is feeling Sunday in pregame warmups before making any final determination about whether he can start. But as one team official told ESPN said about Daniels: “He’s one tough-ass dude.”

“He’d want to play if he were missing his right leg,” the team official told ESPN.

The Washington Commanders didn't elevate anyone from the practice squad yesterday which was considered a sign that Daniels would be playing today. He practiced away from the media on Friday, and then was evaluated on Saturday. If Daniels returns today, he'll be facing a very stout Chicago Bears defense. This will also be a showdown between the top two pick from this year's draft.
