Jayden Daniels is back. The Washington Commanders have cleared their quarterback to play Sunday against the New York Giants after he was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Out since Week 2

Daniels has missed time with a dislocated elbow suffered in Week 2. He will wear a brace on his non-throwing arm for the rest of the season.

Giants up next

Sunday’s game against New York will be Daniels’ first since the injury. Washington has not indicated any workload restriction for his return.

The why matters.
