Dan Quinn spoke to the media before today’s practice and announced that WR Noah Brown is going to miss some time, and would likely be out for the rest of the season due to an internal injury suffered vs the Titans. Jayden Daniels talked to reporters after practice as said Brown is an impactful player, but he’s confident in the other wide receivers stepping up and making plays.
Daniels spent some of his bye week back in California, hosting a toy drive at his high school. He also joined 13 other Washington Commanders rookies at Children’s National Hospital. He was asked about returning to football mode, but said he’s always in football mode. Daniels echoed Dan Quinn’s answer when asked about looking at the playoff scenarios. They know they’re out there, but that’s for people outside the building to worry about for now. Their job is to beat New Orleans this week, and prepare for the next game.

Playoffs:
Daniels on the playoff push: "You can't hide from any of that. ... It's not an unknown, but you focus on the little things. Everybody wants to be part of the playoffs; you can't focus on four weeks from now. You have to worry about the Saints and then move on to the next week."
