Commanders vs Vikings Thursday Injury Report: Jayden Daniels’ first full practice since dislocating elbow
Hogs Haven Hogs Haven

The Washington Commanders held their second full practice of the week today. Jayden Daniels participated in his first full practice since dislocating his left elbow in Week 9. He has missed the last three games due to the injury, and will miss another if he’s not cleared to practice fully this week. Dan Quinn said he would “take it all the way to Friday” for a decision on whether he plays against the Vikings on Sunday. Daniels wasn’t cleared for contact, but he could still return this week.

Only two players didn’t practice today due to injury. DE Drake Jackson was activated from injured reserve for a patellar tendon injury that has kept him off the field since 2023. He has also been listed with a new groin injury since last Thursday. He hasn’t practiced this week, and won’t be active on game days until he is ready. Dan Quinn didn’t sound confident about him taking the field until he was in NFL gameday shape, and that doesn’t sound like it will be this week. Veteran LB Bobby Wagner didn’t practice again today, and is listed with a new knee injury this week.

WR Noah Brown is also expected to be activated from IR this week, and he got another full practice in today. He’s been out since suffering a groin injury in Week 2, and could join Terry McLaurin who also returned from injury (quad) last week. DT Javon Kinlaw didn’t practice yesterday with a new back injury, but was back on the field today. Frankie Luvu has been listed with a shoulder injury since injuring it in Week 10 vs the Lions, but he’s played every game. He was listed as limited yesterday, but back to full participation for his weekly recovery plan.
