Jayden Daniels Set to Practice in London as Commanders Weigh Colts Matchup

September 28, 2026 - 19:38

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is expected to return to practice this week as the team prepares for its matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in London. While his presence on the practice field marks a positive step, whether he will actually play in the game remains unclear.

Daniels has been dealing with an injury that sidelined him in recent weeks, leaving the Commanders to rely on backup options under center. His potential return would be a significant boost for a Washington offense that has shown flashes of promise but struggled with consistency in his absence.

The Commanders have not committed to a timeline for Daniels, and coaches have indicated they will evaluate his progress throughout the week before making any decision. The team wants to avoid rushing him back before he is fully ready, especially with a long season still ahead.

Playing in London adds another layer of complexity. The travel, the different environment, and the international stage all factor into how the team manages player health. If Daniels does not suit up, Washington will again lean on its depth at the position.

For now, all eyes will be on practice reports coming out of London to see how Daniels responds to increased activity.
