Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels will play in next weekend’s preseason opener against the New York Jets, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday.
The Commanders used the second overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft on Daniels, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
“I think we’ve probably said it all along there’s been a whole process,” Quinn said Sunday. “Like, it’s not been a secret at all but a process of how we’re going to go get guys ready. So, the games are important, to go and play and get ready — not just with Jayden, but with everybody.”
Quinn did not disclose how long Daniels, 23, would play in Saturday’s game in East Rutherford, N.J.
Jets coach Robert Saleh said earlier this week it was unlikely his quarterback, 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers, would play in the preseason. Rodgers is coming off a torn Achilles sustained in the opening game last season.
Daniels completed 72.2 percent of his passes for 3,812 yards, 40 touchdowns and four interceptions last season at LSU. He also rushed for 1,134 yards and 10 scores in 12 games.
