Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was limited in practice after suffering a rib injury in Week 7. While he expressed a desire to play against the Chicago Bears, his status remains uncertain and may not be confirmed until game day. If Daniels is unable to play, Marcus Mariota will start, having performed well in relief during Daniels' absence.
- Jayden Daniels is making progress in recovery but remains a game-time decision.
- Marcus Mariota has shown leadership and skill, making him a reliable backup option.
