Injury Updates: Commanders Welcome Back Key Players Ahead of Giants Game

The Washington Commanders are gearing up for their upcoming game against the New York Giants with some encouraging injury updates. According to Hogs Haven, cornerback Jonathan Jones is dealing with a new rib injury, which kept him from practicing, while linebacker Bobby Wagner, who had a knee issue, has been limited but is expected to return to full participation.

Meanwhile, quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out after aggravating his left elbow injury during last week's game against the Minnesota Vikings. This marks the seventh start for Marcus Mariota in place of Daniels, who has struggled with injuries throughout the season.

Coach Dan Quinn noted that while Daniels is out this week, they expect him to practice as a limited participant moving forward. Additionally, running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. was also limited in practice due to a groin injury, leading the team to sign Chase Edmonds from the practice squad for additional depth.

Defensive end Drake Jackson returned to practice after being activated from injured reserve, marking a significant step in his recovery from a patellar tendon injury. The Commanders face a critical matchup against the Giants, and the performance of returning players could be pivotal in securing a much-needed victory as they continue to navigate a challenging season.
