Commanders' Jayden Daniels is ready to quiet the critics entering his third NFL season
Jayden Daniels has looked sharp in camp as Washington learns a new offense and adds more playmakers, while the offensive line remains a concern.
The Washington Commanders open the 2026 regular season Sunday at Philadelphia, aiming to improve on last year's 5-12 record with quarterback Jayden Daniels entering his third season.
Offensively, Washington looks different than the past two years under Kliff Kingsbury, with Daniels mastering a new system requiring more time under center, showing consistent accuracy throughout camp.
Washington added four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs and tight end Chig Okonkwo to a skill group led by Terry McLaurin, with Diggs' route-running expected to help pull defensive attention away.
General manager Adam Peters oversaw a youth infusion, with all six 2026 draft picks making the roster and raising the three-year total of remaining selections to 20.
Entering the season healthy, Daniels aims to move past the 10 games missed last year due to injuries, hoping the offense evolves significantly by Week 15.
