Daniels told reporters closest to him on Friday and said his surprise is “hard to explain” but that he feels good.
“I want to play, but it’s not my decision,” Daniels said.
Quinn told this class that they are hopeful Daniels can start against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but the Commanders can be clever with his condition. Bears vs. Commanders was one of the most important games of the generation, like Negative. No. 1 pick Caleb Williams will face Daniels, who heard his name called as the closest to Williams on draft night. However, we will have to wait a little longer for that long-awaited showdown.
Daniels suffered the bruised rib during the first pressure against the Panthers. He was first listed as questionable to return to the game, but then returned to the sidelines without his uniform.

If Daniels can’t play Sunday, Marcus Mariota could be Washington’s go-to quarterback. Like Daniels, Mariota is a former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who once went Negative. 2 in total within the NFL Draft before, there was. In the 40-7 win against the Panthers, Mariota completed 18 of 23 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns.
