Commanders rookie quarterback
Jayden Daniels is considered “week to week” after sustaining a rib injury during the first quarter of the team’s lopsided Week 7 win over the
Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Commanders coach Dan Quinn provided the time frame during a Monday news conference, saying

Caleb Williams, the player taken one spot ahead of Daniels at No. 1.
“We’ll take him through all the steps at practice and assess how he’s doing and keep working through that,” Quinn said. “We’re hopeful he can play, but we’ll also make sure to take every precautionary step and do it smartly for the player and the man
.”
