Daniels (ribs) is not present at the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Daniels appears to be missing a third straight practice after a rib injury forced him out of Washington's win over the Panthers in Week 7 following the team's first possession. If Friday's official injury report confirms an absence for Daniels, it will signal the rookie No. 2 overall pick likely sitting out Sunday's contest against Chicago. Marcus Mariota will be in line to start against the Bears if Daniels can't go, with Jeff Driskel and practice-squad member Sam Hartman available as depth options.
