Daniels’ Grueling Camp Aims to Unlock His Next Level

Washington’s Jayden Daniels is being pushed by head coach Dan Quinn and OC David Blough in a tougher, more complex offense that uses a 38-second play clock and unscripted “call-it” periods to speed up decisions after a injury-plagued 2024. Daniels has embraced the challenge, leaning on conversations with Blough and Jared Goff to learn a system that blends under-center snaps, increased pre-snap input, and flexible play-calling, with the goal of a smarter, more productive passer who can still use his legs. The plan is to keep him healthy while expanding his mental and procedural mastery so he can lead a higher-powered offense in 2026; health remains the biggest hurdle.

Dolphins 53-Man Shuffle: Winners Rise, Veterans Fall

After the initial 53-man cutdown and waiver activity, the Dolphins’ roster featured clear winners and losers: winners DJ Herman (converted to fullback and proving versatile for special teams), Keith Cooper Jr. (emerging as a flexible, disruptive defensive lineman), Ryan Miller (waiver pickup who earned a 53-man spot), and Quinn Ewers (benefiting from a favorable move to Jacksonville); losers Tyrel Dodson (high 2026 cap hit, opening room for younger LB options), DT Matthew Butler (outpaced by Cooper), AJ Henning (waived after appearing to compete for a spot), RB Carlos Washington Jr. (not kept on the 53, added to practice squad), and EDGE Clelin Ferrell (failed to stand out). Cap considerations and camp performance largely dictated who stayed and who didn’t.
