Jayden Daniels’ availability for the upcoming game against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears remains uncertain due to a rib injury he sustained during a previous matchup.

Coach Dan Quinn expressed optimism on Monday regarding Daniels’ potential return to the field this Sunday. Following an early injury in the team’s dominant 40-7 victory over Carolina, the rookie quarterback has since been categorized as week-to-week in terms of recovery.

Should Daniels be unable to participate, veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota will step in as the starter in what is anticipated to be a clash between the top two selections from this year’s NFL Draft.

This season, Daniels has showcased impressive statistics, accumulating 1,410 passing yards and 372 rushing yards while being accountable for 10 touchdowns. His exceptional performance has positioned him as a leading contender for the offensive rookie of the year award.
