The Commanders quarterback will wear a brace on his non-throwing elbow as he faces the Giants after missing two games.
Jayden Daniels is back. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Friday that the quarterback will start Sunday's home game against the Giants, while offensive coordinator David Blough said Daniels is "full go" after being a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Daniels, 25, had been out since Week 2, when he injured his non-throwing elbow bracing a fall during Washington's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys. The injury aggravated a previous dislocation to the same elbow from last season. He will wear a black brace that keeps the elbow permanently bent slightly for the remainder of the season.
In Daniels' absence, Marcus Mariota started the past two weeks, including a win at home over the defending Super Bowl-champion Seahawks in Week 3. But Mariota suffered an MCL sprain to his right knee during Washington's Week 4 loss to the Colts in London, adding urgency to Daniels' return.
The Commanders host the Giants Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
