Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels's status for the team's Week 8 matchup vs. the Chicago Bears is still up in the air afterDaniels will not practice on Wednesday, coach Dan Quinn announced, and Marcus Mariota will instead take first-team reps. Quinn said he will have an answer about Daniels's status after Friday's practice depending on whether the rookie quarterback can participate this week.
