Heading into Week 4, three key Commanders players are on the injury report. Pro Football Doc breaks down the latest updates as Sunday approaches.


Jayden Daniels – QB, Commanders (Knee)

Quarterback Jayden Daniels returned to practice this week as a limited participant after missing Week 3 with a sprained knee. When asked if he’ll play Sunday, Daniels told reporters, “It’s up to the doctors”, though he added that he’s feeling good. Pro Football Doc believes Daniels is healthy enough to play, but has questions in regard to the team's cautious approach, "He’s physically able to play, but will the Commanders stay cautious? And will he agree to wear a knee brace to get on the field this week?" The Commanders officially declared Daniels OUT of Sunday's game. Marcus Mariota will once again start in his place.


Terry McLaurin – WR, Commanders (Quad)

Terry McLaurin is battling a quad injury that kept him out of practice this week. He sought multiple opinions on his injury, but according to reports, the injury will not require surgery. The Commanders also ruled McLaurin out for Week 4.


Jakory Crosket-Merritt – RB, Commanders (Knee)

Running back Jakory Crosket-Merritt appeared on the injury report Wednesday with a knee issue and has not practiced since. On Friday, he returned to the practice field, and head coach Dan Quinn called it a "good session."
