  "account": "Jayden Daniels, the LSU quarterback, weighed in at 210 pounds during his Pro Day in March 2024, maintaining his slender frame two and a half years later. His injury during Sunday's game against the Cowboys has sparked questions about the Washington Commanders' potential contract offer. Former Washington Redskins head coach, Jay Gruden, shared his concerns on Grant & Danny Monday on 106.7 the Fan, emphasizing the need to address whether to give Daniels the keys to the franchise with uncertainty about his playing longevity. Concerns about his health have been evident since his time at LSU, where Gruden noted that fans questioned his ability to stay healthy and finish games. Gruden described the incident on Sunday as an awkward fall, rather than a significant collision. Despite being unsure of the solution, Gruden hopes Daniels will return and finish the season. Meanwhile, Daniels is expected to consult with specialists this week for an assessment.",
