ASHBURN, Va. — Jayden Daniels will take part in Washington Commanders practice Wednesday in some capacity while dealing with a rib injury, coach Dan Quinn said.

Addressing reporters before taking the field, Quinn said the prized franchise quarterback and fellow rookie Brandon Coleman, who had been rotating at left tackle before being concussed Oct. 20 against Carolina, would practice. Veteran tackle Cornelius Lucas will not because of an ankle injury, according to Quinn.

But the focus is on Daniels, who gutted through sore ribs to help Washington beat Chicago on his Hail Mary touchdown pass Sunday. He missed practice early last week before being a limited participant on Friday and getting listed as questionable and a game-time decision.

Daniels took several big hits against the Bears but came out of the victory saying he felt fine. He and the 6-2 Commanders visit the 2-6 New York Giants this weekend.
