Jayden Daniels officially out Sunday for Commanders

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels officially is out Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who reported the news Friday. Schefter’s report did not include an injury designation or any further details about Daniels’ status beyond Sunday.

Daniels has played two games in the 2026–27 season, completing 29 of 51 passes for 260 yards and 3 passing touchdowns. He has taken 1 sack and has 1 fumble. The passing volume is limited to those two appearances, but the production includes touchdowns on 3 of his 29 completions.

The quarterback has also carried 12 times for 100 yards. Those rushing figures are part of Daniels’ early-season statistical profile alongside his passing work, with 100 yards on the ground through his two games. The available data lists no further player metrics beyond his passing, rushing, sack and fumble totals.

Washington is 1-2 in the 2026–27 season. The Commanders rank 17th of 32 teams in offensive EPA and 29th of 32 in defensive EPA. Daniels’ absence Sunday removes a quarterback whose current-season totals include 260 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns and 100 rushing yards from the Commanders’ available production.
