Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Could have reentered Sunday's game
Coach Dan Quinn said after Sunday's 31-0 loss at Minnesota that Jayden Daniels (left elbow) could have returned to the game, but it was a coach's decision to keep him on the sideline, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.Daniels took a hit to his previously dislocated left elbow on his interception in the third quarter and was in visible discomfort going to the medical tent. He was deemed questionable to return but never reentered the contest, with Marcus Mariota directing the Washington Commanders offense the rest of the way. In what was his first game action since Week 9, Daniels finished with 78 yards, no touchdowns and one interception on 9-for-20 passing and four carries for 16 yards.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Appears to aggravate elbow injury
Jayden Daniels exited Sunday's game at Minnesota due to a left elbow injury.Daniels was donning a sleeve on his left elbow Sunday in his first game action since Week 9, when he suffered an ugly dislocation that resulted in three contests on the sideline. He appeared to aggravate the issue when he got hit on a pass attempt in the third quarter in which the ball popped into the air and was corralled for an interception by the Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel. Daniels yielded the Washington Commanders offense to Marcus Mariota upon his departure.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Cleared to start Sunday
Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn confirmed Friday that Jayden Daniels (left elbow) will start Sunday's game at Minnesota, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.An upgrade to full practice participation Thursday set the table for Daniels to return from a three-game, four-week absence. It's possible he runs less than usual initially, but the Commanders presumably wouldn't play him if he were limited in any significant way. The team around Daniels will probably be the best he's worked with all season, as the Commanders currently have all five O-line starters healthy, not to mention Terry McLaurin's recent return from a quad injury. The opponent appears less favorable, with Minnesota largely playing in low-scoring games or blowouts of late.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Full practice Thursday
Jayden Daniels (left elbow) practiced fully Thursday.As of Wednesday, Daniels hadn't been cleared for contact following the dislocated left elbow that he suffered Week 9 against the Seahawks, with coach Dan Quinn telling Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post that the Washington Commanders were "going to take it all the way through Friday" to determine his potential to return Sunday at Minnesota. A full practice Thursday indicates that Daniels is on a path to do so, and the team's final Week 14 injury report Friday will reveal how he's listed, or if he has a designation at all. Marcus Mariota would start again this weekend if Daniels isn't able to suit up.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Still limited Wednesday
Jayden Daniels (left elbow) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.Sidelined since he dislocated his left elbow during a Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, Daniels hasn't been cleared for contact, as coach Dan Quinn on Wednesday corroborated Ian Rapoport of NFL Network's report from Sunday. Quinn added that Daniels will "get a lot of reps in practice" this week, but the Washington Commanders are "going to take it all the way through Friday" to determine his odds to return to action Sunday at Minnesota, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Daniels thus seems in play to suit up Week 14, but if he doesn't gain the aforementioned clearance, Marcus Mariota will continue to lead Washington's offense for at least one more game.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Ruled out for Week 13
Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Jayden Daniels (left elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Zach Selby of the Washington Commanders' official site reports.Daniels returned to the practice field this week for the first time since dislocating his left elbow Week 9 versus the Seahawks, but his limited listings Wednesday and Thursday weren't enough to put him in a position to suit up. Quinn added that Daniels has made "great progress" in his recovery, but the second-year signal-caller hasn't been cleared for contact yet, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. As a result, Marcus Mariota again will be under center for the Commanders this weekend, while Daniels' next chance for game action is Sunday, Dec. 7 at Minnesota.
