Could the Washington Commanders return Jayden Daniels from his injury in time for a battle between Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears?

During the club's Week 7 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, Daniels suffered an injury on the team's first offensive drive. He was taken out of the game with a rib injury, which also forced him to miss practice both on Wednesday and Thursday.

Daniels returned to practice on Friday with hopes to return for the Week 8 battle.

"I want to play but it's not my decision," Daniels said. "It feels better, but I've still got some time. I've still got some marks I need to hit so they feel comfortable putting me out there."

Here is the game status for injured Commanders ahead of their Week 8 matchup:

OUT:

• OT Brandon Coleman, concussion

LP:

• QB Jayden Daniels, ribs
• DE Dorance Armstrong, ribs

Given the length of the injury report all week, only having three players out or questionable for their matchup against the Bears is a huge win for the Commanders. Fans will closely be watching the game status of Daniels and how it changes on Sunday morning.

A matchup between No. 1 overall pick Williams and No. 2 overall pick Daniels is still very much on the table, and it would make for a great battle between two young, rising squads.

Offensive tackle Brandon Coleman will miss the matchup with a concussion, though, as he didn't practice all week. The squad had five limited participants on Friday during their last practice before they host Chicago.
