Commanders adjust plans for QB Jayden Daniels in 2026 season

Summary

The Washington Commanders have revised their approach to support quarterback Jayden Daniels for the 2026 season. Last year, Daniels faced multiple injuries, limiting him to half the season. New offensive coordinator David Blough aims to utilize more under-center plays, which could help safeguard Daniels from heavy hits. The Commanders have parted ways with former coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, responding to criticism of the previous injury risk associated with the team’s offensive strategies. The changes signal a commitment to ensuring Daniels remains healthy as he enters his third NFL season.
