"But on the bright side, quarterback Jayden Daniels will be suiting up after missing Week 8 due to a low-grade hamstring strain. Injuries have plagued the Commanders' season, with the Daniels-McLaurin connection in particular never getting the chance to find a rhythm. They haven't played together since Week 2, and they were out of sync in those first two contests after the receiver held out of the entire offseason during his contract standoff with general manager Adam Peters."
"The popular idea has become that Washington's roster was actually terrible, yet Daniels was so incredible that none of it mattered. This is a significant insult to the production the Commanders got from many of their supporting players in 2024, and they aren't getting it in 2025. But regardless, if Daniels is good enough to carry the whole team on his back, then he can put on his Superman cape again and turn this campaign around."
Washington enters after three straight losses and will again be without wide receiver Terry McLaurin while quarterback Jayden Daniels returns from a low-grade hamstring strain. Injuries have disrupted the Daniels-McLaurin connection, which has not played together since Week 2 and struggled earlier following McLaurin's offseason holdout. Daniels has produced solid showings without his top target and needs a standout prime-time performance at home. Growing skepticism about the roster and last season's NFC Championship run has surfaced. The next two home games against the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions will largely determine the team's playoff viability.
