NFL teams are officially turning their attention to Week 5, and there's good news in Washington.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday morning that franchise quarterback Jayden Daniels has been cleared to practice in full. Marcus Mariota went 1-1 in Daniels' stead, beating the Las Vegas Raiders his first start but losing to the Atlanta Falcons last week.
Daniels has been battling a knee sprain suffered in Week 2's loss at the Green Bay Packers, and he wore a brace on Wednesday. "I plan on going out there Sunday," Daniels said.
The San Francisco 49ers, meanwhile, are in a more dire spot. Quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receivers Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall and Jordan Watkins were all ruled out for Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams, a critical NFC West road game.

Lamar Jackson, meanwhile, didn't practice Wednesday for the Baltimore Ravens with his hamstring injury, and his status for Sunday is in doubt. Jackson left last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with the injury, and if he can't go, Cooper Rush will make the start. Head coach John Harbaugh characterized Jackson, like all Ravens injured players, as day to day.
And the Cleveland Browns are making a big move at quarterback, with third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel taking over the starting job from veteran Joe Flacco. Gabriel's first game will be in London Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, which isn't an ideal defense to face in any week, let alone your first NFL start. But Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the decision was his.
"[Gabriel] has handled everything well since he's been on campus here. So just gonna have to support the young man," Stefanski said Wednesday.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is still battling a calf issue.
"The calf needs more treatment. The calf needs more time," Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday, noting that the team is taking it "day-to-day" with Hubbard.
Hubbard got a rest day Wednesday, Canales said. Hubbard carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards during a Week 4 blowout loss to the New England Patriots.
"He was able to play and still played at a high level, the way that we expected him to play, and ran the ball hard all the way through it. But coming out of it, we just didn't feel like he wasn't in a better spot coming out of the game than he was the week before. So we're going to treat that day-to-day."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was spotted in a walking boot Wednesday.
Irving was seen with a walking boot on his left foot and was also using crutches as the team performed its walkthrough Wednesday, per Rick Stroud.
Bucs RB Bucky Irving was wearing a boot on his left foot and was using crutches. OLB Haason Reddick has a stinger Sunday but is at practice. So is DT Greg Gaines, who left with a pectoral injury. Still no Mike Evans, obviously. It's a walk thru so tough to discern who is going.…
— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) October 1, 2025
The team has yet to update Irving's status after head coach Todd Bowles said the running back was having an MRI on Monday. Given the crutches and walking boot, it's likely Irving will be listed as "out" for Wednesday's practice once the team releases its first injury report of the week.
