The Washington Commanders play one of the best games of the week against the Los Angeles Chargers. After missing two games, there is a great update on quarterback Jayden Daniels.
The team posted on social media that Jayden Daniels is back and ready to start this Sunday. Hence, we will have a massive QB battle against Chargersâ Justin Herbert.
The offense has still put up points without Daniels in the lineup but itâs obvious it looks better with him instead of Marcus Mariota. While both are very athletic and fast, itâs Danielsâ arm that gives the offense a whole new dimension.
Is Terry McLaurin playing today vs. Chargers?
Unfortunately for the Commanders, McLaurin remains out due to a quad injury. The injury happened in Week 3 and he has missed two straight games. Despite head coach Dan Quinn saying he was trending in the right direction, âScaryâ Terry wonât be able to suit up yet.
Terry McLaurin, wide receiver for the Washington Commanders
McLaurin signed a massive extension in the offseason but even when he was on the field, he wasnât lighting the NFL on fire either. In three games, he has 10 catches for 149 yards without any touchdowns.

The Commanders have other problems
The Commandersâ defense is reason for concern. They rank 24th in yards allowed and 18th in points allowed this season. For a team that is supposed to be a contender, those are bad stats that even Jayden Daniels wonât be able to overcome. If you pressure your quarterback to be in shootouts, eventually he will lose.
Against the Chargers, they are facing a tough challenge since itâs a very talented and deep offense. If they arenât able to contain Justin Herbert, it could be a very long and exhausting night for Washington.
