Following a Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, where Daniels completed 52.9% of his passes for 164 yards, concerns linger about his health after dealing with various injuries last season. The Commander’s offensive potential could be significantly affected if Daniels is unable to play, particularly given his dual-threat capability.
