Commanders QB Jayden Daniels gives an update on his health
· Yahoo Sports
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was back on the football field this weekend. No, it wasn't for the Commanders. Instead, Daniels participated in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, where he was a co-captain, along with Joe Burrow, on Team Wildcats.

Daniels looked great, throwing the ball, escaping pressure — if that's what you want to call it — and he was even running routes and juking defenders. Daniels not being stationed in the pocket for the entire game had many questioning why the Commanders would even allow him to participate.
Fortunately, things were fine. Daniels looked like his normal explosive self and had some fun. Unfortunately, his team didn't win.
Daniels missed 10 games last season, and Washington struggled as a result, going from the NFC Championship Game to 5-12. He last played in a Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, where he re-aggravated an elbow injury he suffered several weeks earlier. Ultimately, Daniels probably could have returned late in the season, but it wasn't worth the risk.
Last week, Daniels spoke about his health before the Fanatics Flag Football Classic Draft.
"I’m feeling good," he said, via Tyler Dragon of USA Today.
When someone asked if he was 100% healed from his injuries, Daniels replied, "Yes."
This is an important offseason for the Commanders, which began by replacing both coordinators, promoting David Blough to offensive coordinator, and hiring Daronte Jones as defensive coordinator. This month, GM Adam Peters has worked hard to improve the roster to give Daniels more help in 2026.
Daniels is healthy, or he wouldn't have participated in Saturday's flag football game. That's great news for the Commanders ahead of the offseason program, which opens next month.
