“I just love playing football, so I’m happy about it,” Daniels said. “I mean, I always knew I was going to play. At least I have the opportunity to go out there and play, so I’m excited for it.” “There’s been a whole process,” Quinn said of the decision to play Daniels against the Jets. “It’s not been a secret at all — but a process of how we’re going to go and get guys ready. And so, the games are important to go and play and get ready.”
Daniels has been splitting training camp snaps with veteran Marcus Mariota. The Commanders visit Tampa Bay on Sept. 8 to open the regular season.
