Jayden Daniels' Wrist Injury Raises Concerns as Commanders Prepare for Packers

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was listed on the injury report on Monday afternoon due to a wrist ailment.

On Sunday, the Washington Commanders picked up a comfortable 21-6 win over the divisional rival New York Giants to move to 1-0 on the young 2025 NFL season. It wasn't the most electric day for Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels in the first game of his second season in the NFL, but he still looked poised and in control against a Giants defense that is expected to be a solid unit this year.

Unfortunately, Daniels didn't make it through the game unscathed, as he appeared on the Commanders' official team injury report that was released on Monday afternoon.

“The #Commanders listed QB Jayden Daniels on the injury report with a right wrist injury,” reported Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team on X, formerly Twitter.

However, Meirov also clarified that “the team says he would’ve been a full participant today if there had been practice.”

The last thing the Commanders need is their franchise player getting injured at this early juncture of the season, and so it makes sense that they are being extra cautious by placing him on the injury report even on a day in which no practice occurred.

The Commanders are looking at a short week heading into the second game of the season, as they will take on the Green Bay Packers on Thursday evening to kick off Week 2.

The Packers got off to an excellent start to their 2025 season with Micah Parsons in the mix, knocking off the reigning NFC North champion Detroit Lions in easy fashion on Sunday afternoon. Parsons had a sack in that game, and the Commanders and head coach Dan Quinn–who coached Parsons when he was the Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator–will likely have some sleepless nights this week as they try to think of ways to buy Daniels as much time in the pocket as possible.

Aaron Judge Responds to Rumors: "Yankees Aren’t Just About Me"

In an unexpected turn of events, Aaron Judge has addressed the growing rumors that the New York Yankees are too reliant on his performance to succeed, denying the claims that the team’s fortunes rest solely on his shoulders.

While stats have undeniably shown the Yankees’ heavy reliance on Judge—who’s been a force of nature both offensively and defensively—Judge himself took to the press to set the record straight, emphasizing that the team’s success isn’t just about him.

“I understand the numbers and the focus on my performance, but this team is about everyone working together,” Judge stated in a candid post-game interview. “We have a roster full of talent, and we all have a role to play. It’s not just about me; it’s about what we do as a unit.”

The Yankees have certainly leaned on Judge’s powerful bat and leadership, especially after his historic season. But Judge’s selfless message makes it clear: the team is not built around one player. While he acknowledged his importance to the lineup, Judge was quick to point out that baseball is a team sport, and each player has to step up for the Yankees to succeed.

Despite Judge’s strong leadership and incredible individual stats, the Yankees have struggled at times this season to find consistent production from others. With Judge’s injury concerns in the past, the team’s depth has been questioned, but Judge is confident the team’s overall talent can rise to the occasion.

The Yankees continue to battle for postseason contention, and Judge's comments may put to rest any concerns about the team being overly reliant on one player. As the team gears up for the stretch run, Judge remains focused on winning as a team, not as an individual.
