"To say Daniels' supporting case was depleted would be an understatement. Terry McLaurin missed his fourth consecutive game despite optimism earlier in the week. Deebo Samuel Sr. wasn't risked after his heel complication didn't get any better. Noah Brown hasn't been seen since Week 2, and the Commanders finally placed him on injured reserve."
"That left Daniels with Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey, fourth-round rookie Jaylin Lane, and practice-squad elevation Robbie Chosen as his wide receivers. Not exactly the strongest group, so the former LSU standout had to do whatever was needed to elevate this team in pursuit of keeping up with Dallas' high-octane offense. Fortunately, the Cowboys' defense is nowhere near as good."
"They rank dead last in almost every meaningful defensive category this season. Matt Eberflus' unit was also without cornerback Trevon Diggs, who suffered an accident at home and is now in the concussion protocol. Even so, this was a legitimate 50-50 game where every slight edge was crucial. As it turned out, the Commanders were embarrassed en route to a heavy defeat, and Daniels didn't even finish the contest."
Jayden Daniels faced a severely depleted receiving corps as Terry McLaurin missed his fourth straight game, Deebo Samuel Sr. was held out for a lingering heel issue, and Noah Brown was placed on injured reserve. Active pass-catchers included Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey, rookie Jaylin Lane, and practice-squad elevation Robbie Chosen. The Cowboys' defense ranked poorly and was missing Trevon Diggs, yet Washington suffered a heavy defeat and Daniels did not finish the game. Timing issues emerged as Daniels worked with unfamiliar targets, resulting in sporadic positive plays and overall offensive struggles.
