Daniels aiming to return at QB for Commanders against Giants
Jayden Daniels is set to practice fully this week as he recovers from an elbow injury and is targeting a return for Week 5 against the Giants. That would put Washington's starting quarterback back after backup duty was needed in London. ESPN player news
