"Quinn confirmed that the superstar quarterback has not been cleared for contact yet as he continues to recover from a dislocated elbow. That makes his participation on Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos unlikely, which isn't a bad thing given their vaunted defensive front. Quinn also hinted that the Commanders could use their games down the stretch to alter Daniels' playing style."
"That happens with reps and experience, which the Commanders are hoping to get more of for the player once he gets the all-clear to participate. "I think it's important as Jayden [Daniels] gets going that he learns to play at the highest level and, competitively, that he also learns to do it safely. Those are reps that you develop as well. It's a skill, just like throwing and processing, and so all those things are important.""
Washington Commanders injuries are improving but playoff hopes are effectively gone. Jayden Daniels returned to practice while still recovering from a dislocated elbow and has not been cleared for contact, making his participation against the Denver Broncos unlikely. Head coach Dan Quinn plans to use remaining games to adjust Daniels' playing style, emphasizing both dynamism and safer decision-making to protect his longevity. Quinn described safer play as a skill developed via reps and experience, comparable to throwing and processing. Daniels' dual-threat tendencies and slender frame increase his exposure to hits, reinforcing the need to prioritize availability.
