Quinn, Daniels Explain One-Drive Preseason Plan vs Lions

Washington Commanders lost 17-13 to the Detroit Lions in the second preseason game as Dan Quinn explained Jayden Daniels would get only one drive, with the focus on Week 1 in Philadelphia. Daniels said he plays when he’s up, while the team works through a still-settling offensive line and center position, with Nick Allegretti’s injury complicating plans. Julian Good-Jones struggled in the look with Daniels, while Sam Cosmi and Brandon Coleman drew praise as Washington navigates injuries ahead of the regular season.

Commanders Camp: New Coordinators and a Sharper Edge Under Quinn

Albert Breer recaps Commanders training camp, where Dan Quinn is pushing a tougher, more game-like approach with new coordinators David Blough (offense) and Daronte Jones (defense). Jayden Daniels is adjusting to a bigger role and more presnap responsibility, aided by a deep receiver room and a reshaped offensive line without Laremy Tunsil. The defense is designed to be multi‑vealed and versatile, with Javon Kinlaw, Odafe Oweh, K’Lavon Chaisson, and rookie Sonny Styles leading the way as Washington builds its identity for 2026.

NIL dispute over Jayden Daniels' No. 5 jersey: lawyers weigh in

Lawyers say Jayden Daniels cannot bar LSU from using his NIL in general imagery, and he has no blanket right to the No. 5 jersey; his cease‑and‑desist targets only commercial uses of his NIL. With unclear contract specifics and a potential 180-day grace period, LSU could face limits if it uses Daniels’ likeness for promotions or sponsor-driven ads without a new agreement or compensation. The consensus among four NIL/IP sports lawyers is that the current impact on LSU is likely minimal unless the program starts a broad, commercial campaign tied to his name or image.

Burrow: LSU Won’t Reuse No. 9, but Jersey Drama at LSU Isn’t Over Yet

LSU policy allows current players to wear numbers at the coach’s discretion, while five numbers retired before 2007 remain ineligible, highlighting how legacy, current players, and NIL intersect in LSU’s jersey decisions.
