The Washington Commanders held their third, and final full practice of the week today. Dan Quinn announced that Jayden Daniels is starting vs the Vikings on Sunday. This is his first game back since dislocating his left elbow vs the Seahawks in Week 9. He practiced last week, but wasn’t cleared for contact, and Marcus Mariota got another start during an injury-filled season. Quinn said that Daniels had a good week, and it will be good to see him back on the field.
Two players have been ruled out for the Vikings game. DE Drake Jackson was activated from injured reserve (patellar tendon) yesterday, but hasn’t practiced all week. He has been sidelined since 2023, and will continue to miss time as he gets back into football shape. The Commanders needed to activate him this week, or he would have been shut down for the season. Backup OT George Fant was added to the injury report late yesterday with a knee injury, and he’s been ruled out. He has only been inactive for four games this season, and has only played on special teams.
Two players are listed as questionable. Veteran LB Bobby Wagner got his first practice of the week in today, and Dan Quinn said he looked good after not practicing all week. He’s listed as questionable with a new knee injury. WR Noah Brown is also expected to be activated from IR tomorrow, and play on Sunday. He’s been out since suffering a groin injury in Week 2, and will join Terry McLaurin who also returned from injury (quad) last week. Brown had a planned rest day today, like McLaurin did last week before he returned.
