Jayden Daniels couldn’t wait to put a helmet on again. The Commanders’ star quarterback’s wishes were granted on Wednesday when he took the field in Ashburn, Virginia, for voluntary organized team activities, the next phase of the team’s offseason program.

The second-year player joked before practice with cornerback Mike Sainristil and flashed a signature smile throughout the day.

Even back-to-back interceptions during seven-on-seven drills couldn’t break Daniels’ stride. It didn’t hurt that the turnovers weren’t his fault — one ricocheted off his receiver’s hands while the other saw a pass-catcher fall down just before the ball arrived.

How could he hang his head? After nearly four months away, he was finally back on the field with his teammates.

“I love football,” Daniels said. “So, it’s very refreshing to go out there and practice, have some fun.”

Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said his signal-caller had to be practically pried away from football during the offseason. The two are in constant contact, sharing texts and calls when they aren’t in the building.
