Dan Quinn: Jayden Daniels practiced on Friday, we'll see how he reacts

While Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was not seen during Friday's media-open portion of practice, head coach Dan Quinn made it clear that Daniels was able to participate in some aspects of the session.

Now Washington will see how the quarterback responds over the next 48 hours before the club takes on Chicago on Sunday at 4:25 ET.

“We stayed true to the process for Jayden, which is what we would do Wednesday through Thursday,” Quinn said in his press conference. “And we really wanted to push him today to see where he would be. And let’s see how he reacts to this advance.”

Quinn noted that Daniels will likely be listed as limited on Friday's practice report. He didn't give a game status, but it's obvious that Daniels is listed as questionable.

“We're really following this process and letting our eyes determine how he responds over the next 48 hours,” Quinn said. “That will guide us and we will make the best decision for him and the team. And if he can’t go, you definitely have every confidence in Marcus (Mariota).”

Daniels also spoke briefly to reporters after practice on Friday, saying he was undergoing treatment and trying to put himself in the best position to play this week.

“I want to play but it's not my decisionDaniels said of Sam Fortier of The Washington Post.

Daniels added that he doesn't think the injury will last the entire season after he recovers. But he also doesn't try to make things worse by playing when he shouldn't.

“I mean, it’s football,” Daniels said. “At the end of the day, things happen. Sometimes you may have to fight through something.

“Of course they wouldn't put me in a position where they wouldn't be comfortable. For my future, I would not put myself in this predicament.”

The Commanders will release their full injury report with game status later on Friday.
