Jayden Daniels won't play in Friday's Patriots-Commanders preseason game

The New England Patriots will see a lot of Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels in Wednesday's joint practice in Foxboro. But the Patriots will not see Daniels come Friday night's preseason opener at Gillette Stadium.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced ahead of Wednesday's joint session that Daniels will not play in Friday's preseason opener in Foxboro. The reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year will take a lot of reps in Wednesday's joint practice, but will then sit out the exhibition tilt.

So once again, preseason football fans will be robbed of a Daniels-Drake Maye exhibition showdown.
