Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is expected to start on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
Head coach Dan Quinn told CBS’ Tracy Wolfson that Daniels will start barring a setback in pregame warmups.
Daniels has been dealing with a rib injury. He suffered the injury early last week against the Carolina Panthers. Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota finished the 40-7 Commanders win in relief. Quinn previously said that Daniels was considered a game-time decision against Chicago.
If there are no setbacks, Daniels’ availability ensures a highly anticipated matchup featuring the top two picks in this year’s NFL Draft. The Bears selected Williams first overall, and Washington took Daniels with the No. 2 pick.
