The Washington Commanders suffered their fourth loss of the season to bring them back under .500 after dropping a huge NFC East battle against the Dallas Cowboy

Daniels was officially ruled out on Thursday with a low-grade hamstring strain he suffered in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Dan Quinn said the injury is not significant or long term and that the team wanted Daniels to focus on rehabbing to be ready for Week 9. Daniels has already missed two games this season with a knee injury.
