Jayden Daniels on Track to Return from Hamstring Injury for Commanders vs. Seahawks

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is expected to practice in full all week, which should put him on track to return for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Wednesday.

Star wide receiver Terry McLaurin, meanwhile, has been ruled out against the Seahawks after re-injuring his quad, Quinn said.

After his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2024, Daniels' second season has been marred by injuries.

He suffered a sprained knee in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers, and that injury forced him to miss the Commanders' Week 3 and 4 matchups. He returned to action in Week 5, but suffered a hamstring injury against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7.

That injury forced him to miss the following week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

While it was enough to make him miss Week 8, Daniels avoided a serious injury, and there was optimism that the matchup against the Chiefs would be the only game he'd have to miss.

After their impressive 12-5 season a year ago, the Commanders haven't gotten off to the best start without Daniels. They're currently sitting at 3-5 heading into Sunday's matchup against Seattle.

Daniels has thrown for 1,031 yards and eight touchdowns, adding 211 yards and one touchdown on the ground in five games.

If Daniels is ultimately unable to suit up this week, Washington will turn to backup quarterback Marcus Mariota under center. Mariota has seen plenty of action this season with Daniels dealing with injuries, and the veteran has thrown for 639 yards and four touchdowns in four games.
