The Washington Commanders will have their starting quarterback back under centre.
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed to reporters Friday that Jayden Daniels will return against the Minnesota Vikings.
Daniels has missed Washington's past three games with a dislocated left elbow. The Commanders' quarterback has missed six of the club's 12 games this season.
The Commanders (3-9) have lost seven games in a row, a year after going 12-5 during the regular season and making it all the way to the NFC title game, with Daniels appearing in all 20 of their games.
With Marcus Mariota taking over for Daniels, Washington went 1-5, including overtime defeats against the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos in the past two outings.
Daniels hurt his non-throwing elbow in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 2, when his left arm bent awkwardly as he braced himself while being tackled in the fourth quarter. Washington already was down by 31 points at the time, and Quinn acknowledged the next day that it was a mistake to still have his starting QB in the game.
