Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury spoke to a small group of reporters on Thanksgiving Day before the team hit the practice fields. Washington is expected to get several players back this week, and more could be on the way. Jayden Daniels isn’t expected to playa against the Broncos on Sunday night, but he returned to practice today. Kingsbury was asked about calling plays to protect him, but he’s going to call the game the way he always does. Daniels needs to take precautions, but still play the game his way.
Getting Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (knee/groin) back will also be a boost, and Kingsbury called them high-end players for their offense. Their return will help open up the offense for everyone else. They haven’t been on the field together since Week 2. McLaurin is expected to play Sunday night, but we’re still waiting to see when Brown will get activated from injured reserve.
