Jayden Daniels Backs David Blough's Offense After Missing 10 Games in 2025

Jayden Daniels said he "loves" new offensive coordinator David Blough's system and is targeting a healthier 2026 after injuries sidelined him for 10 games last season.
Washington promoted Blough from quarterbacks coach after a 22nd-place offensive finish in 2025, and receiver Jaylin Lane said Daniels looked like a "founder of the offense" during spring installs.
Those absences exposed Daniels' value as the Commanders fell to 5-12 a year after reaching the NFC Championship Game in 2024.
Washington kept its offensive line intact and added Chigoziem Okonkwo, Van Jefferson, Rachaad White and returning wideout Dyami Brown to give Daniels more options.
The Commanders' 2026 rebound still hinges largely on Daniels' command of the new scheme and, above all, his ability to stay on the field.

With a new OC and an arsenal of weapons, can Jayden Daniels finally deliver on his rookie promise?
