Giants’ John Harbaugh Refuses To Rule Out Jayden Daniels Factor For Week 5

The New York Giants, despite the loss of Jaxson Dart for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season, have been performing well and remain in a strong position in the NFC East Division. Following a win against the Tennessee Titans, they secured another victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4, thanks to Jameis Winston’s performance.

Currently holding a 3-1 record, the Giants are set to face the Washington Commanders in Week 5 at Northwest Stadium in Landover. With Jayden Daniels sidelined due to an elbow injury, the Commanders’ starting quarterback is Marcus Mariota, although he also missed time due to an injury sustained against the Indianapolis Colts. Giants head coach John Harbaugh is preparing his team with the assumption that Daniels will play, saying, “We’re going to have to prepare for Jayden [Daniels] – until they say he’s not playing, we’re assuming he’s playing.”
