All signs point to Washington Commanders’ rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels playing Sunday against the Chicago Bears, league sources told ESPN.

The Commanders will still have to see how Daniels feels during pre-game warmups on Sunday before making a final decision on whether he can start. But as one team official told ESPN about Daniels, “He’s a tough guy.”

If Daniels pushes through his rib injury and plays as he is trying to do, it would set up a battle between this season’s respective No. 1 and No. 2 draft picks: Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams and Daniels.

Daniels is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s home game against the Bears. The Heisman Trophy winner did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, but was a limited participant Friday and went through Washington’s walk-through practice Saturday.

Daniels would recognize the importance and significance of a matchup against Williams, as well as what the matchup will mean for Washington’s season. The Commanders (5-2) enter Sunday in first place in the NFC East, half a game ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles (4-2).

“He would want to play if he was missing his right leg,” the team official told ESPN.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Daniels “really put pressure on it” on Friday and the organization would “let our eyes decide how he responds over the next 48 hours.”

“That will guide us, and we will make the best decision for him and the team,” Quinn said Friday.

Daniels said Friday he was feeling good and wants to play, but acknowledged that “it’s not my decision.”

Daniels injured his rib on his first action after a scrimmage during Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers. He was replaced by Marcus Mariota, who completed 18 of 23 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns.
