Will Jayden Daniels play in Week 8 for the Commanders? What we know before kickoff vs. the Bears

Jayden Daniels got hurt in Week 7 with a rib injury, and now he’s playing in one of the later games on Sunday. There was some buzz that despite that injury, there was a possibility he could play this week.

So will he play in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears? Here’s what we know as the clock ticks down to kickoff on Sunday.

He was a limited participant in practice on Friday, and listed as questionable for Sunday. And then there was the report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter “the signs are strong” that he could play, although the team will see how he is in pregame warmups. So that’s kind of huge.

We’ll see if that’s truly the case later, but it seems positive.

Commanders still will need to see how Daniels is feeling Sunday in pregame warmups before making any final determination about whether he can start. But as one team official told ESPN said about Daniels: "He's one tough-ass dude.” The signs are strong. https://t.co/temZd25Sel
