**Daniels Set to Return as Commanders’ QB Against Chargers**

**LOS ANGELES** – Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will return to the starting lineup this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers after missing the previous two games with a sprained left knee. Head Coach Dan Quinn officially announced the decision following practice at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Daniels, a San Bernardino native, participated fully in practice throughout the week. He will wear a black brace on his knee during the game but insists it won’t impede his mobility, a crucial factor against a Chargers defense that has struggled to contain scrambling quarterbacks, allowing the third-most yards on QB scrambles this season. Last season, Daniels led all quarterbacks with 570 rushing yards.

“He had a great week,” Quinn said, signaling confidence in the rookie signal-caller’s readiness.

The Commanders are eager to welcome Daniels back after a 34-27 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. While backup Marcus Mariota performed well in Daniels’ absence, leading the offense to 61 points, Offensive Coordinator Kliff Kingsbury emphasized Daniels’ unique talent. “He’s generational,” Kingsbury stated, “any time you get him back out there it’s going to lift up your team.”

The team will still be without two key receivers, Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin/calf), for a second consecutive game. Brown also missed the Week 3 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to his injury.

Daniels expressed his frustration at being sidelined, admitting he felt ready to play a week earlier, though he respected the medical team’s decision. Regarding his playing style, despite the injury, he remains committed to making plays. “You’ve got to be smart, live to see another down,” Daniels said, “But just know if the game is on the line, I’m going to do whatever it takes to win.”
