The Washington Commanders traveled to Los Angeles yesterday after practice, and were back on the fields today. They were using the facilities at the Coliseum, and everyone there was a full participant. Three players didn’t travel with the team, and were ruled out yesterday[Terry McLaurin(quad), Noah Brown(groin), Sam Cosmi(knee)].

Jayden Daniels was medically cleared and was on the field for another full practice today. Dan Quinn said he was the starter on Sunday, but he will be wearing the same brace during the game that he’s been practicing with. Daniels suffered a knee sprain in Week 2, but there haven’t been many details. He missed the last two weeks, with Marcus Mariota getting the start in his place.

WR Deebo Samuel(heel) and CB Mike Sainristil(knee) didn’t practice the last two days, but were on the field today and will play on Sunday. Deebo was also named a team captain by Quinn. Daron Payne was also limited on the injury report yesterday with a knee injury. He will play on Sunday, but Quinn gave him a rest day today.

TE John Bates has missed the last two weeks with a groin injury, but is set to make his return vs the Chargers. He has been a full participant last week, and will step back into his role as the team’s No.2/blocking tight end. The Commanders have been using TE Ben Sinnott and OT Trent Scott more with Bates out.

UDFA rookie S Ale Kaho was in the concussion protocol after a hard hit last week. He has been progressing throughout the week, and is cleared to play. S Percy Butler didn’t practice at all last week due to a hip injury, and he was limited the last two days. He’s good to return after a full session today.
