Jayden Daniels is not expected to miss a lot of time if anyone, but he may not look like his usual self right away.
Daniels is fresh by an offensive rookie in the year campaign and deals with a sprain in his knee that Washington commanders head coach Dan Quinn said will keep him out of practice until Friday.
The commanders shared each of their first two matches and handled the New York Giants 21-6 in week 1 before the Green Bay Packers took care of the business with a 27-18 win three days later.

While Philadelphia Eagles remains the favorite to win NFC -East, the commanders must be in the mixture as long as Daniels is healthy.
However, Tom Christ, a doctor of physiotherapy and founder of the Fantasy Injury Team, said that Daniels’ injury could show on the Statarket even if he is on the field.
“So Daniels is really interesting. They just feel it guard a sprain and don’t tell us which tissue is sprained. If you see the video, he lands on his tibia with his knee almost fully bent, which is a common way to get a PCL injury, and by their terminology it is probably class 1 that is not terrible. You can rehab who and return to play,” said Christ in a newer interview with Pakinomist.
“But what we see historically is the first couple games, the athlete looks a little bit slow, a little bit hesitant to cut off that knee and a little bit unstable. Daniels is obviously a massive rushing threat, so i would Effect Running The Ball The First Couple Games After He Plays.

Daniels rushed in 891 yards, the ninth most ever with a quarterback and most of a rookie qb.
As for Minnesota Vikings Starts JJ McCarthy, his first year is not starting with an ideal start. After missing his rookie season with a torn meniscus, he is now dealing with an ankle sprain.
He can also still handle some lingering effects.
“The time frame for two-to-four weeks is pretty consistent with a degree 2 high anchor-displacement, where there are some what we call, tissue laxity or instability in the ankle,” Christ said. “It should be able to get under control, but what can happen there, especially with being his real ankle, is that it can only be a little less firm when he pushes out to throw the ball. So we get to see how long he is actually out.

“I think they have a bye week somewhere in there (week 6), so many people wonder that he may not return to after that, which, if that is the case, he should be in order with that point, but if they try to really speed up things, and it is more like a two-week absence, he may have some problems that push it back when they initially throw themselves.”
