Commanders QB Jayden Daniels could return for Week 5 against Giants

Dan Quinn expressed optimism regarding Jayden Daniels' potential return for the Commanders' Week 5 matchup against the Giants after a 30-13 loss to the Colts. Daniels is expected to practice fully this week, having previously dislocated his left elbow in Week 2. With Marcus Mariota possibly sidelined due to an aggravated MCL injury, third-string QB Athan Kaliakmanis had limited success, throwing one touchdown and one interception. The Commanders are also managing injuries to key players, including left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Quinn emphasized the need for a strong running game to support the offense moving forward.
