Commanders coach Dan Quinn says he is ‘not concerned’ about Jayden Daniels’ leg soreness

Associated Press  

Dan Quinn downplayed Jayden Daniels’ leg soreness that led the Washington Commanders coach to take the rookie quarterback out at halftime of the regular-season finale against Dallas, brushing off any worry about the injury lingering into the playoffs. “And I’m actually feeling good on the team’s health, so that’s a good thing when you get to this time of year.” Quinn reiterated that he turned to backup Marcus Mariota because the game required more mobility at the position than Daniels could muster. “He really did a nice job of finding his own rhythm for that.” What’s working According to Quinn, the Commanders are trending the right way health-wise after playing without cornerback Marshon Lattimore and starting center Tyler Biadasz and losing rookie left tackle Brandon Coleman to a knee injury. “We didn’t talk about it, but having it at the end does provide the team maybe with more energy than you normally would have.” Getting Lattimore back after the four-time Pro Bowl selection aggravated the left hamstring injury that caused him to sit out several games earlier in the season is crucial given the challenge of facing Mike Evans.
