Washington Commanders fans won't have to wait long to see their new franchise quarterback in game action.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn told reporters the plan is to play rookie signal-caller Jayden Daniels during Saturday's preseason opener against the New York Jets.

While it may not be a surprise, it is still notable the No. 2 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft will play in his team's preseason opener after the No. 1 overall pick, Caleb Williams, did not play in the Chicago Bears' victory over the Houston Texans on Thursday.
