The Washington Commanders have been one of the surprise teams in the NFL this season, as they have struck gold with the addition of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has quickly turned into the face of the storied franchise.
Although Daniels has led the Commanders to seven wins thus far, they are coming off consecutive losses for the first time this season, to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles.
With some fans getting concerned that the team might be slipping a little bit in the second half of the 2024 campaign, some have pointed out that Daniels has been wearing a wrap around his ribs, which he injured earlier in the year.
Daniels was asked why he wears the wrap and explained that it is a tactic to stay warm as temperatures continue to drop from week to week heading into the colder months of the year.
“It’s to stay warm,” Daniels said, via Scott Abraham of 7News DC. “I mean, it’s getting later in the year, as it gets colder, you don’t want your body parts to get cold, so it’s just to stay warm.”
Commanders rookie QB Jayden Daniels is not injured, that’s according to head coach Dan Quinn and Jayden.
So I asked Jayden today why he puts on a wrap around his ribs in between drives during the game?

In Week 12, the Commanders will attempt to snap their two-game losing streak as they’ll face the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, who are having one of their worst seasons in recent memory.
The matchup is the perfect opportunity for Daniels and company to bounce back with a vengeance and resemble the NFC heavyweights everyone has become accustomed to seeing this season.
