Offensive coordinator David Blough announced that Jayden Daniels will play in Week 5 against an unnamed opponent after being sidelined for two weeks due to a non-throwing elbow injury. Daniels participated fully in Wednesday’s practice and will wear a black brace on his elbow for the remainder of the season, though he believes it won’t hinder his performance. Selected by the Commanders with the second pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Daniels had a promising rookie year in 2024 but faced setbacks due to injuries last season.

Story summary
Jayden Daniels, quarterback for the Washington Commanders, is set to return after missing the past two games due to a dislocated left elbow. The team's head coach, Dan Quinn, confirmed that Daniels will be a full participant in practice this week ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the New York Giants on Sunday at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
While Daniels' return is expected, key receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs are dealing with hamstring injuries, leaving their status uncertain for the game. Coach John Harbaugh of the Giants emphasized the versatility and threat that Daniels poses, noting his ability to execute drop-back passes, play-action, and run downs effectively.
Daniels will wear a black brace on his injured elbow for the remainder of the season but believes it won't hinder his performance. Despite initial struggles this year, Washington remains optimistic about their quarterback's impact against the division-leading Giants (3-1), who are preparing to face Daniels as if he is fully healthy.
