Commanders

Dan Graziano of ESPN, citing people he’s spoken to within the Commanders, writes that QB Jayden Daniels has a “decent chance” to play in Week 5 against the Chargers.
According to Graziano, Daniels was close to being cleared from his knee injury in time for their previous game against the Falcons, but the team’s doctors felt it was best to keep him out.
Fowler adds that Daniels is getting closer to being available and should be in a position to play if all goes well in practice this week.
As for WR Terry McLaurin‘s quad injury, Graziano is hearing that he could require another week or two.
At running back, Graziano writes that the team is comfortable with their committee approach with Chris Rodriguez Jr., Jeremy McNichols, and ****Jacory Croskey-Merritt.
In the end, Washington views Croskey-Merrit as the “most capable” running back to become an “all-around threat” and could be their back in the second half of the season.
