Jayden Daniels is BACK! But can he save the Washington Commanders season?

The Commanders are 1-3 heading into a crucial NFC East showdown against the New York Giants, and all eyes are on Jayden Daniels as he prepares for a potential return from his elbow injury.

Dan Quinn is hoping to have his franchise quarterback back under center, but Washington has much bigger problems than just the quarterback position.

Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs are battling hamstring injuries, Marcus Mariota is dealing with an MCL injury, and the Commanders offense could be seriously short-handed against the Giants.
