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: Not yet cleared for contact
Coach Dan Quinn noted Wednesday that he's optimistic Jayden Daniels (left elbow) will "get a lot of reps in practice" this week, but added that he's "going to take it all the way through Friday" in terms of the QB's Week 14 status, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.Regarding what Daniels will do at practice out of the gate this week, Quinn said "we'll have to simulate as much as we can...he has not been cleared for contact." With that in mind, look for the Washington Commanders to list the QB -- who last saw game action in Week 9 -- as a limited participant in Wednesday's session.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Week 14 status TBD
Jayden Daniels (left elbow), who is out for Sunday night's game against the Broncos after being limited at practice this week, has yet to be cleared for contact, but has a "chance" to play next weekend against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, while it remains unclear if Daniels -- who dislocated his non-throwing elbow in Week 9 -- will be available to face Minnesota, the QB has said that, if he's healthy, he would like to play. For now, Marcus Mariota will continue to handle the Washington Commanders' starting signal-caller duties.

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.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Another limited listing
Jayden Daniels (left elbow) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.Per a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN on Monday, Daniels was expected to return to practice this week for the first time since dislocating his left non-throwing elbow Week 9, but the second-year pro is unlikely to be available Sunday versus the Broncos. When it comes to the first topic, Daniels now has logged back-to-back limited listings during Week 13 prep. As for the second, the Washington Commanders may make a ruling on his upcoming availability when they post their final practice report of the week Friday. Marcus Mariota will continue to lead the offense for as long as Daniels is sidelined.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Limited in practice
Jayden Daniels (elbow) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.Daniels is considered unlikely to play this Sunday against Denver, with Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn noting Thursday that the team "would not put [Daniels] out there" if he were in any way limited, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Return to practice on deck
Jayden Daniels (elbow) will resume practicing Week 13, but he's not expected to return to the starting lineup in time for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Even if Daniels remains unlikely to retake the field Week 13, it will be encouraging to see him back at practice as at least a limited participant. The second-year quarterback suffered a dislocation to his non-throwing elbow Week 9 versus Seattle and has not played since, with it being reported that Washington would evaluate his health again after the team's Week 12 bye. As such, the extent of Daniels' activity at practice this week may play a significant role in determining his availability, or lack thereof, for the rest of the season. At 3-8 the Washington Commanders have effectively been removed from playoff contention, which could lead the team to simply continue rolling with Marcus Mariota under center rather than risk any further injury to Daniels. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Daniels has not yet been cleared for contact, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Set for checkup after bye
The Washington Commanders plan to re-evaluate Jayden Daniels (elbow) after their Week 12 bye before deciding on his availability for the remainder of the season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Washington elected not to place Daniels on injured reserve after he received positive news from medical evaluations earlier this week, when he was told he wouldn't need surgery to address the dislocation to his non-throwing elbow that he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. However, Daniels was still ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Lions and will also remain out for the Commanders' Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins in Madrid, giving Marcus Mariota at least a two-game run as the team's starting quarterback. Pelissero notes that even if Daniels' left elbow heals up well over the next few weeks, the Commanders' positioning in the NFC standings could be a major factor in whether the second-year quarterback is cleared to play at any point in the final quarter of the season. Entering Week 10, the Commanders sit at 3-6 on the season, and losses to the Lions and/or Dolphins over the next two games could effectively remove the team from playoff contention.
