Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels told reporters Thursday his left elbow “feels good” as he recovers day by day ahead of Sunday’s game against Indianapolis, according to NFL.com. The update suggests Daniels could be trending toward playing in Week 4 after being listed as a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice.

What Daniels said

Daniels won’t make a decision on surgery until after the season, according to Yahoo Sports. He was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice.

The injury

Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow in Week 2.

This is his second injury at the elbow, marking a repeat concern at that site. He is expected to provide more clarity on his status before Sunday as the team prepares its final injury designation.

Season impact

Through three weeks, Daniels has been the Commanders’ primary starter. The elbow injury poses uncertainty for the offense heading into Week 4 against the Colts in London.

What’s next

The Commanders face the Colts on Sunday in London. An official injury designation is expected Friday ahead of kickoff.
