And we got a lot of good opinions. And now it\u2019s a matter of thinking about what\u2019s the best course of action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cAs of right now surgery is not on the table and we haven\u2019t discussed (injured reserve). It\u2019s just a matter of how we\u2019re going to get him back on the field. That\u2019s still to be determined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Peters said the Commanders will lean on medical personnel to makes final decisions about the best course of action. Not placing him on IR would suggest some confidence he can return faster than the four weeks he\u2019d be out with that designation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Washington\u2019s GM hedged that first answer a little bit later in the interview, making sure his previous comments were related this moment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cAt this time,\u201d Peters said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to make any proclamations, but those aren\u2019t things we\u2019ve discussed and landed on yet. He just got back. We haven\u2019t even sat down and talked about what we\u2019re doing moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Commanders will try to get Daniels back in play quickly, and he\u2019ll wear a brace on his left elbow. He has been ruled out of Sunday\u2019s game versus Seattle but nothing beyond that. As Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer points out, they\u2019ll have to make a decision on whether to bring him to London \u2014 they play Indianapolis there in Week 4 \u2014 by Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Peters also said it was a \u201clongshot\u201d for linebacker Frankie Luvu (groin), tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) and guard Sam Cosmi (concussion) to play against the Seahawks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniels got back late on Thursday and the team was still sitting down to decide on the best&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":860572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[99,15981],"class_list":["post-860571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-sports","tag-washington-commanders-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=860571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/860572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=860571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=860571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=860571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
