Jayden Daniels is currently out due to a knee sprain he suffered during the Week 2 game against the Green Bay Packers. He missed the Week 3 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on September 21, 2025, as he did not practice leading up to the game. The injury is a knee sprain but not an MCL sprain, which is less severe and would have sidelined him for several weeks. There is a possibility that Daniels might return as early as Week 4 for the game against the Atlanta Falcons, but the Washington Commanders are taking a cautious approach to his recovery and may ease him back gradually. No official announcement has been made yet about his exact return date, but he is considered day-to-day and must meet all return-to-play markers before playing again.
