Dan Quinn announced Jayden Daniels will see action Monday night.
Daniels, now in his second NFL season, did not play in the Commanders’ first preseason game up in New England, where the Pats rolled Washington 48-18. It’s also to be remembered that Quinn sat 30 Commanders, providing him and his staff plenty of opportunity to see what others could do.
Quinn told the media Saturday that he is looking forward to Daniels, along with several others, getting their first game action this preseason.
“I would say it’s a little bit customized, but we’d like to see a few series, and we’re excited to see the guys,” Quinn said. “They’re excited to get performing, too, so we customized it a little bit.”
Quinn was quick to assert that Daniels will not be playing a whole lot either. “It’s not going to be super long, so I wouldn’t like to do like an extended popcorn break or something, but I’d be ready to be involved with it for sure.”
It won’t be thirty players Quinn designates to sit Monday night against the Bengals, but the head coach did go ahead and announce those players he has declared out on Monday. He did make a distinction, “some players that will be out for the game, some that we’re going to hold, and others due to injury.
- LB Bobby Wagner
- LB Von Miller
- TE Zach Ertz
- T Laremy Tunsil
- G Sam Cosmi
- G Brandon Coleman
- WR Noah Brown
- WR Terry McLaurin
- QB Marcus Mariota
- LB Jordan Magee
- DE Javonte Jean-Baptiste
- CB Jonathan Jones
In the preseason opener, running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had to go to the tent, nursing a sore shoulder. But when asked about JCM, Quinn quickly responded that he is not injured.
“Nope, ready to roll more. Just making sure that he’s doing well. We had a good, tough padded practice yesterday and that went well. So, we wanted to just kind of continue on that trajectory.”
Magee was someone the coaches were very high on last offseason. However, he couldn’t remain on the field due to injuries sustained in both training camp and the regular season. He just last this week returned to practice. So look for the Commanders to pace his reps and recovery, hoping he can see action in the preseason finale against the Ravens.
