Story summary

Jayden Daniels returned to action for the Washington Commanders on Sunday against the New York Giants, after missing two games due to a dislocated left elbow. Despite wearing a brace, Daniels completed several passes and led an early touchdown drive in the first quarter. However, the game ended in a 27-27 tie as both teams struggled with clock management and key turnovers. The Commanders had a chance to win at the end but failed to spike the ball, allowing time to expire. Meanwhile, Giants quarterback Jameis Winston orchestrated a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback, throwing for 326 yards and three touchdowns in his season debut, but a fumble by Giants running back Cam Skattebo prevented them from winning outright.

🔮 The Commanders couldn’t get back to the line of scrimmage in time to spike the ball.

🔮 Greg Newsome II could star in one of those Mastercard commercials where he delivers the slogan that playing in the right defensive scheme is the “priceless” thing that money can’t buy.
🔮 Will he be ready to supplant Jake Haener as No. 2 behind Jameis Winston in time for Sunday’s game against the Commanders?
🔮 But I would guess that Abdul relishes that.
🔮 And he can’t guarantee that will be the case — not because of the shoulder that he banged up landing after a contested catch against the Cardinals but because of the knee that underwent reconstructive surgery in September 2025.
🔮 Jake Haener was signed Wednesday to the active roster, NFL Network first reported, where he will join starter Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy.
🔮 Harbaugh, with assists from the scouting department and special teams coordinator Chris Horton, might have found the third long-term kicker solution of his 28-year NFL coaching career now that rookie Dominic Zvada is off to a 9-for-9 start on field goals and 5-for-5 on PATs.
🔮 John Harbaugh might need to get his T-shirt designer on the phone again.
