X-rays on Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' ribs showed no fractures, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Daniels is scheduled for additional testing to get a better idea of his injury. Former NFL head team Dr. David Chao suspects Daniels is dealing with a rib cartilage injury that could cost him this weekend's game vs. the Bears. We should learn more over the next 24 hours. QB Marcus Mariota played well in relief of Daniels against a bad Panthers defense, completing 18 of 23 passes for 205 yards and two TDs. He also ran 11 times for 34 yards. The task will be much tougher if Mariota starts vs. the Bears this weekend.
