USA TODAY Touchdown Wire on MSNCommanders' Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels discuss the Brian Robinson Jr. news
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn met with the media for the first time since it was revealed the team had made running back Brian Robinson Jr. available via trade. Quinn didn't get into the details of Robinson's situation, other than to say, "News like that’s always not easy."
The Commanders' first-string offense played one series, starting with a Samuel run and ending with a Daniels rushing touchdown.
Daniels danced out of the pocket and scrambled for a 14-yard touchdown to cap his preseason performance against the Bengals after just four plays.
At the urging of veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner, Daniels dug deep into his own game over the offseason. Now he's putting it to use.
In the only passing play on the four-play, 74-yard drive, the Commanders quarterback scrambled for a 14-yard touchdown. It was enough for coach Dan Quinn, who likely held his breath as Bengals safety Jordan Battle briefly looked like he was going to have a chance for a hard hit on Daniels.
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Saturday that Daniels and most of the starters will play "a few series" during Monday's preseason matchup against the Bengals, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
