Jayden Daniels wanted to come back and help the Washington Commanders gain some respectability from the campaign. His return against the Minnesota Vikings backfired, and those in power have now taken the decision out of his hands by sitting him down for the rest of 2025.
With nothing much to play for other than pride, and the medical staff still not clearing him for contact, it's the right call. How the Commanders got there is a subject for debate, but it doesn't change the fact that taking Daniels out of the firing line represented the best move for the franchise's future.
