Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced that quarterback Jayden Daniels will start Sunday's NFC East game against the New York Giants. Daniels has been sidelined since dislocating his left elbow in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, choosing to wear a protective brace rather than undergo surgery to accelerate his recovery.
