Coach Dan Quinn told reporters on Wednesday that the signal-caller would practice in full today.
“He has been medically cleared by the doctors. He’ll practice full today,” he said.
Daniels has missed the Commanders’ last two contests with a knee injury. He practiced on a limited basis last week but wasn’t cleared to play. Daniels was seen by local reporters wearing a brace during Wednesday’s practice, similar to the previous week.

Getting in a full practice early in the week is a good sign the star quarterback will return for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, barring a setback.
“He’ll get all the reps at the practice,” Quinn said. “He’ll be back full speed, the execution, the timing, all of that. That’s really what I’m looking for, but he’s definitely champing at the bit to get going.”
The Commanders went 1-1 with Marcus Mariota under center.
Quinn also relayed positive news regarding several other injured Commanders, wide receivers Terry McLaurin (quad), Noah Brown (groin, knee) and tight end John Bates (calf, groin).
“All are trending up. … We’re making good progress with those guys,” Quinn said.
We’ll see where the Washington injuries are at later in the week, but at 2-2, getting at least Daniels back this week would be a positive against a good Chargers defense.
