Jayden Daniels wants to play in Commanders' Week 4 game so badly

Jayden Daniels did not play in his Washington Commanders’ Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday due to a knee injury. The young Commanders quarterback is dying to get back out there for Week 4.

Daniels was termed “limited” in Washington’s practice on Wednesday. He spoke with reporters afterward and expressed a strong desire to play in Sunday’s Week 4 game at the Atlanta Falcons.

The Commanders have Marcus Mariota as their backup quarterback, and he led the team to a victory in Week 3. They may not be motivated to rush Daniels back to action knowing they have a capable backup and that they will be facing a Falcons team that lost 30-0 to Carolina in Week 3.

Daniels told reporters that he “feels good.” However, he said “it’s up to the doctors” whether he gets cleared to play. He made clear that he wants to play.
