**Jayden Daniels Expected to Start for Commanders Despite Rib Injury**

Jayden Daniels, the rookie quarterback for the Washington Commanders, is anticipated to start in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, despite having dealt with a rib issue throughout the week. According to ESPN, all indications suggest that Daniels will push through the discomfort to play, though the team will re-assess his condition on Sunday morning before making a final decision.

Daniels has been officially listed as questionable, but a team official was quoted saying, "He's one tough-a** dude. He'd want to play if he were missing his right leg." This comment highlights Daniels' determination and toughness, qualities that may enable him to play even when not at full health.

After missing practice midweek, leading to concerns about his availability for the game against the Bears, Daniels made a return to the field on Friday. He originally sustained the rib injury on the first offensive play of a 40-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers last weekend, following a 46-yard run.

Should Daniels end up playing, it will set up an exciting match-up against another rookie quarterback, Caleb Williams. This showdown could add another layer of intrigue to the Commanders' game against the Bears. All eyes will be on Daniels as the team eagerly awaits to see if their young quarterback can overcome his injury and lead them to another victory.
