The Washington Commanders announced Friday that QB Jayden Daniels will start Sunday’s game against the Chargers.
Daniels was forced to miss the last games for Washington after suffering a knee injury against Green Bay.
Washington cleared Daniels for full practice participation earlier in the week.
Daniels, 24, started his collegiate career at Arizona State before transferring to LSU for his final two seasons. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2023 and was drafted by the Commanders with the No. 2 pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
