ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders<\/a> quarterback Jayden Daniels<\/a> will play Sunday after missing one game because of a hamstring injury, coach Dan Quinn said.<\/p>\n

Washington (3-5) has lost three consecutive games entering Sunday’s game against Seattle (5-2). The Commanders have been hit hard with injuries this season and won’t have receiver Terry McLaurin<\/a>, who will miss his fifth game with a quad injury.<\/p>\n

As for Daniels, Quinn said: “We’re all pumped for that. He just has a unique way about him; elevates others. He’s hard to defend.”<\/p>\n

Daniels was a full participant in practice for a third consecutive day Friday. He did not play in Monday’s 28-7 loss at Kansas City but said he was feeling better near the end of last week.<\/p>\n

Washington had ruled him out early in the week after he suffered the injury in Week 7 vs. Dallas, wanting him to focus on rehab and not practice.<\/p>\n

Daniels missed two games earlier this season with a sprained left knee.<\/p>\n

“I’m good. If I’m out there, I’m not even thinking about it,” Daniels said in general about his injuries. “If I was worried about something, then I wouldn’t be playing. If I’m out there on the field, I’m going to be confident in myself and my abilities to go out there and execute and play football.”<\/p>\n

In five games Daniels has thrown for 1,031 yards with eight touchdowns and an interception. He has run for 211 yards and one score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John KeimOct 31, 2025, 12:41 PM ET CloseJohn Keim covers the Washington Commanders for ESPN.
