- Jayden Daniels is cleared to play Sunday against the New York Giants, and Washington is saying there will be no restrictions on him.
- The harder part is that Daniels is still doing it with a black brace on his left elbow, a reminder that the injury from Week 2 is not gone even if the game-status language sounds clean.
- Daniels will wear the large brace to protect the elbow after dislocating it in Week 2, and he will need to keep wearing it the rest of the season.
- For the Commanders, that is the balance heading into the Giants game: Daniels is available, he is practicing, and he is being described as “full go.” The brace, though, is still there.
