Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is not participating in practice due to a rib injury sustained in Week 7 against the Panthers. Head coach Dan Quinn has labeled Daniels as week-to-week but remains optimistic about his potential return for the upcoming game against the Bears. If Daniels cannot improve his practice participation, Marcus Mariota is expected to start in Week 8, which would prevent a highly anticipated matchup between the top two picks of the 2024 Draft.

• Daniels' rib injury could sideline him for Week 8.
• Marcus Mariota is poised to start if Daniels cannot practice effectively.
