Washington Commanders' fans were encouraged to see quarterback Jayden Daniels participate in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic two weeks ago. Why? Well, Daniels would not have been anywhere near the field if he were still recovering from any of the injuries he sustained during the 2025 season.

So, while there was some debate about whether Daniels should have even been on a flag football field in March, it had to mean Washington felt good about his overall health.

On Tuesday, head coach Dan Quinn gave an update on Daniels, only a few weeks before the Commanders open their offseason program.

"Good news, he's doing awesome, man," Quinn told the NFL Network at the league's annual meeting. "Just in terms of the rehab, the training, and everything, he's back full tilt, into everything. That's big for us. He's an absolute savage of a worker. And so he's going to put the work in, trust me on that."

General manager Adam Peters also offered a positive update on Daniels' health.

Daniels missed a total of 10 games last season due to different injuries. He dislocated his non-throwing elbow in a Week 9 loss to Seattle. He returned five weeks later, but reaggravated the injury chasing down a Minnesota defender after an interception. So, the Commanders made the decision to end Daniels' season and allow him to focus on 2026.

When Washington opens up the offseason program in a few short weeks, it sounds like Daniels will be 100% and a full participant. That's excellent news.
