Daniels playing is ‘up to doctors’

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels said he feels like himself while recovering from an injured left knee that kept him out of the lineup for the first time since he entered the NFL but also noted Wednesday that’s “it’s up to the doctors” whether he can play Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

Asked how much running and cutting he’s been able to do since getting hurt in a game on Sept. 11, the reigning AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year replied: “Enough to feel good about playing on Sunday. (But) like I said: It’s not my decision.”

As for how the injury limits him the most, Daniels said: “I feel good, so I don't think it affects me.”

Wideout Terry McLaurin missed practice Wednesday, which Quinn had said would be the case, but another player who sat out was a surprise: rookie running back Jacory “Bill” Croskey-Merritt. He was listed on the Commanders’ injury report with a knee injury.

Daboll says Dart’s start is his decision

Brian Daboll declined to explain the move of benching veteran Russell Wilson and making rookie Jaxson Dart the New York Giants starting quarterback, other than to repeatedly say it was his decision to turn to the rookie right away and for the rest of the season.
