Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Two rushing TDs in return
Daniels (elbow) completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing nine times for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Giants. He also threw a successful two-point conversion.
Daniels wasn't afraid to run in his return from a two-game absence due to a dislocated left elbow. He scored second-half rushing touchdowns of 38 and 26 yards, the latter of which Daniels followed up with a two-point conversion to Terry McLaurin to give the Commanders a 14-point lead with 11:05 left in the fourth quarter. The Giants proceeded to erase that deficit and force OT, where Daniels drove the Commanders down to the Giants' 24-yard line with 55 seconds remaining, but Washington remarkably failed to get a game-winning field-goal attempt off, as the Commanders ran the clock down and then failed to stop the clock when Daniels went down inbounds on their final offensive play. The bizarre ending overshadows what was otherwise an encouraging performance from Daniels, who made it through the game without any physical setbacks and is set to start in Week 6 against the 49ers.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Will start Sunday
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Friday that Daniels (elbow) will start Sunday's game against the Giants.
Daniels was injured just before halftime in Week 2 against the Cowboys and will return following a two-game absence. With Marcus Mariota dealing with a sprained MCL, Daniels' return comes at the right time for the Commanders. His insertion back under center will boost the entire offense, though Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is questionable and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) has been ruled out, downgrading Daniels' supporting cast in a big way.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: No limitations expected in return
Offensive coordinator David Blough said Thursday that Daniels (left elbow) is "full go" for Sunday's game against the Giants and won't have any limitations, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Daniels returned to practice Wednesday and participated without limitations after missing the previous two games due to a dislocated left elbow. According to Blough, the Commanders plan to have the entire playbook available for their mobile quarterback. If Daniels were to sustain any setbacks in his return, undrafted rookie Athan Kaliakmanis would likely be thrust back into action, as Marcus Mariota (knee) isn't expected to be available after spraining his knee in Washington's Week 4 loss to the Colts.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Logs full practice Wednesday
Daniels (left elbow) practiced fully Wednesday.
After Daniels missed the last two contests due to a dislocated left elbow, coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the Commanders expected the quarterback to be full this week and start Sunday versus the Giants. Daniels' activity level to begin Week 5 prep thus isn't a surprise, and he thus will slot back in as the No. 1 for a QB room that lost his backup Marcus Mariota to a right MCL sprain this past Sunday against the Colts in London. Washington's skill-position group is particularly banged-up at the moment, though, as WRs Terry McLaurin (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, while all of RBs Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) and Rachaad White (shoulder) and TEs Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) and Ben Sinnott (ribs) were limited.
