LANDOVER, Md. — The uncertainty surrounding Jayden Daniels’ playing status has been resolved. The rookie quarterback will play on Sunday against the Bears.

Daniels was not among the Commanders inactives, meaning he’ll start and play despite a ribs injury that kept him out of most of a Week 7 win over Carolina. He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but was a limited participant on Friday and is going to start in this one.
