Of the three remaining practice squad players, Robbie Chosen is the only veteran in the group. He's caught five passes for 131 yards over the last two seasons. Ja'Corey Brooks and Jacoby Jones showed promise at times, but as undrafted free agents, they're viewed more as long-term projects at this point.
You won't hear Daniels complaining about the situation. He knows bad things happen at times in the NFL, which forces players to be thrust into certain situations. He intends to take the situation in stride, though, and expects his wide receivers to do the same.
"The preparation stays the same, and that's why all season \[you\] work on your fundamentals, your individual game. So, you're able to be accurate and things like that. And just kind of talk through those type of things."
The Commanders will likely need a standout performance from their offense on the road against the Cowboys, who have the league's worst defense in several categories. Conversely, their offense has been at the top of the NFL in almost every stat. The Commanders' best hope at getting a win may be to win a shootout against Dak Prescott, George Pickens and potentially CeeDee Lamb.
And that game plan will require a solid day from the receiver, whoever they might be.
"They're doing it, and it's not easy to do when you haven't had as many reps as other guys and then all of a sudden you're kind of thrown in there to be able to understand the offense, execute a high level, make plays when the lights are on," Kingsbury said. "It says a lot about kind of their character and their mentality."
