Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will start Sunday against the Chicago Bears, barring a setback in pregame warmups, coach Dan Quinn told CBS Sports.

Quinn said Daniels looked good in practice Friday as the rookie recovered from a rib injury he suffered in the first quarter of a 40-7 blowout of the Carolina Panthers last Sunday.

Daniels had been listed as questionable.

A Daniels start means a showdown between the top two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft: No. 1 Caleb Williams, the quarterback of the Bears (4-2), and Daniels, the No. 2 overall selection by the Commanders (5-2).

In seven games (all starts) this season, Daniels has completed 75.6 percent of his passes for 1,410 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. He also has 372 yards and four scores on 66 carries.
