Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

I'm revising my forecast and now believe he sits at least a week. It's clear it's not a bruise from the comments and if it's a pull or a tear I don't see how there is not a risk of further injury.

The thing is that an injury to the bone or cartilage are more or less the same thing in terms of how long a player will be out. If it's muscle related though, that could be a very significant injury.

I'm fine with DQ and everyone else being cagey about the answers if the purpose is to hinder an opponent's ability to game plan. My concern though is that the actual reason for the caginess is ownership's concern about selling tickets, and they know the injury is much more serious.

True . . . and both of those can get worse with playing . . . however if its a its a minor muscle strain or bruising, that can be treated pretty easily . . . and the minor muscle strain can be gone in less that that time . . .I've dealt with a few rib injuries (fractures, bruised ribs and rib cage muscle strains). they can all be debilitating, but some can be treated and some can heal more quickly than others.

I think he'll play

I think he will too. him coming back on the sidelines all smiles during the game, he’s whole demeanor was it’s nothing, just got a bruise. I think that was a tell.

This team knows on Sunday this is a really big game. Important for the playoffs.

week to week was the give away he is not playing this Sunday against CHI

As frustrating as it is to not really know it's certainly better than before. Ron would have given a complete report and given away a competitive advantage they would have had.

Dan is gone.

What has Harris done to make you think he’s more about $$ than winning?

Good sign today…hopefully he is ready to go Sunday

Looks like Daniels is playing today if I had to guess, all the signs are there. This game appears to be more important to Bears fans than Commanders fans. After Jayden's great start they feel they are behind in the QB war and want desperately for their guy to outperform ours to justify their pick. Daniels could throw for 100 yards and 3 picks today if he plays and I would still take him over any other player in that draft.

Why can't they both be great? That's what I see coming and it's great for the league. These are 2 teams with huge national followings, fans who have been searching for their guy for generations. It's better for the league to have star QBs playing in DC and Chicago than Jacksonville and Arizona.

Tony Romo played with a broken rib and bruised rib on separate occasions. He actually continued to play at a fairly high level as well. If Daniels pain or discomfort can be mitigated with novacaine, and not in any way affect his play, then numb it up.
