Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Limited again Thursday
Daniels (elbow) remained limited at practice Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Daniels has been limited both Wednesday and Thursday as the Commanders prepare to face the Colts in London on Sunday. The 2024 second overall pick said he believes he will be able to play through the injury to his non-throwing elbow while wearing a brace, though surgery could be an option after the season. Marcus Mariota, who led the Commanders to a Week 3 upset win over the Seahawks in Daniels' absence, remains in the mix to start against the Colts as well.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: To be limited in return to practice
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that Daniels (elbow) will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
After arriving in London ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, the Commanders are holding more of a jog-through session Wednesday, but Quinn noted that Daniels would be limited if the team had a traditional practice. Even a limited showing still amounts to progress for Daniels, who hadn't practiced in any fashion since sustaining a dislocated left elbow in a Sept. 20 loss to the Cowboys. Quinn hasn't closed the door on Daniels potentially suiting up for Sunday's contest, with the coach noting that he wants to see how the quarterback looks in practice over the next three days before settling on a Week 4 starter, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Quinn also confirmed that whenever Daniels returns to action, the 25-year-old will wear a brace on his left elbow for added protection for the rest of the season, according to Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Making trip to London
Daniels (elbow) is traveling with the Commanders to London ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
As expected, Daniels will make the trip across the pond and participate in practices over the coming days. He has a lot of work ahead of him in order to be cleared to play Sunday as he continues to recover from a dislocated elbow, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Marcus Mariota get the starting nod for a second week in a row. Logging a full practice at least once this week would go a long way in Daniels' efforts to return to the field.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Could need surgery after season
Daniels will avoid a procedure on his dislocated left elbow for the time being, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the quarterback could undergo surgery after the season.
Daniels has dislocated the elbow three times in less than a year, with his most recent aggravation of the injury occurring in the Commanders' Sept. 20 loss to the Cowboys. Surgery could provide a more permanent fix for the elbow, but for the time being, Daniels will rehab the injury and wear a brace for added protection when he eventually returns. After Daniels sat out the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Seahawks, head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the quarterback would with the team to London this week and resume practicing in some capacity. The Commanders haven't ruled Daniels out from playing Sunday against the Colts, but he may need to put in at least one full practice in order to have a chance at reclaiming the starting role from Marcus Mariota, who performed well in his stead in Week 3.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Set to practice during Week 4
Head coach Dan Quinn said that Daniels (elbow) will join the team in London and practice in some form this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
According to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Daniels remains far from certain to play Sunday, but his ability to practice in any capacity indicates that he's displayed some progress in his recovery from the dislocated left elbow he sustained Sept. 20. In this past Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Marcus Mariota stepped in as the Commanders' starting quarterback and performed admirably in Daniels' stead, throwing for three touchdowns in a 33-31 upset win. Unless Daniels is fully cleared to take most of the first-team reps in practice this week, Mariota still looks like the favorite to start against the Colts.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Going to London, but may sit again Week 4
Head coach Dan Quinn said that Daniels (elbow) is likely to travel with the Commanders to London on Tuesday, though the quarterback remains uncertain to play Sunday against the Colts, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports.
Daniels dislocated his left elbow in the Commanders' Sept. 20 loss to the Cowboys and didn't practice in any fashion during Week 3 before being ruled out ahead of an eventual 33-31 win over the Seahawks on Sunday. Marcus Mariota stepped in as the Commanders' starting quarterback and performed admirably in place of Daniels, whom Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported is expected to be ready to return to action in "three weeks or sooner." While traveling to London theoretically leaves the door open for Daniels to return to action against the Colts, Mariota would still appear to be the better bet to start Week 4. The Commanders will see what, if anything, Daniels is able to do in practice this week before deciding on his status for the London game.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Expected back within three weeks
Daniels (elbow) is expected to return to action for the Commanders in "three weeks or sooner," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn had already noted Friday that Daniels wasn't in consideration for a stint on injured reserve, but Rapoport's report offers a clearer timeline for the third-year quarterback's return to the lineup. Marcus Mariota will start Sunday's game against the Seahawks and will most likely continue to direct the Commanders offense in Week 4 versus the Colts, but Daniels could be a realistic candidate to rejoin the lineup thereafter. Rapoport notes that whenever he returns, Daniels will wear a brace to protect the dislocated elbow on his left (non-throwing) arm.
