Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels missed his third game of the season on Monday when his team fell 28-7 on the road against the Chiefs.

Daniels, who is dealing with a hamstring strain after a minor knee injury caused him to miss two other games earlier this season, had a good rehab session on Tuesday according to head coach Dan Quinn.

Dan Quinn said QB Jayden Daniels had a good rehab session; expects him to practice tomorrow.

Quinn told the media that he expects Daniels to practice on Wednesday, which could potentially pave the way for a return to the lineup on Sunday night against the Seahawks.

Washington is 3-5 on the season and sits in third place in the NFC East. Daniels's return to full health would give the Commanders a fighting chance to getting back into the NFC playoff picture.

Daniels has completed 61.0% of his passes for 1,031 yards and eight touchdowns to one interception in five games this season.
