Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Playing in preseason opener

Daniels is expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener on the road against the Jets, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Daniels has been the Commanders' first quarterback during the full-team sessions during training camp and appears likely to be the starter against New York. The second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft is battling with Marcus Mariota for the starting job in Washington this season, but Daniels seems to have the edge heading into the preseason.
