Daniels' first game action since elbow injury; Commanders managing workload cautiously.

Daniels returned to game action for the first time since Dec. 7, 2025, when he aggravated an elbow injury that ended his season. The Commanders managed his preseason workload carefully to avoid further risk while allowing him to get live-game reps. Daniels noted the value of playing with 'live bullets' versus joint practice, emphasizing the different urgency level when facing live competition.
