Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo will not get the permanent job, AP source says

October 29, 2025

Washington Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo will not get the job on a permanent basis, and members of his coaching staff are being let go, too, a person with knowledge of the moves told The Associated Press. The person spoke Wednesday on condition of anonymity because nothing had been announced about Washington’s plans for its on-field leadership next season. The changes include the departures of pitching coach Jim Hickey, hitting coach Darnell Coles, bullpen coach Ricky Bones, first-base coach Gerardo Parra — of “Baby Shark” fame — and third base coach Ricky Gutierrez. Cairo replaced the fired Dave Martinez in July.

Commanders’ Jayden Daniels out with injury and Marcus Mariota to start vs. Chiefs, AP source says

October 22, 2025

Quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss the Washington Commanders’ game at the Kansas City Chiefs because of an injured right hamstring and Marcus Mariota will start in his place. That’s according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the team had not officially ruled him out for the Monday night game. Washington has lost two games in a row heading into the contest at Kansas City. Daniels had an MRI exam a day after leaving in the third quarter of Washington’s 44-22 loss at the NFC East-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Jayden Daniels’ injury is not significant but his status against the Chiefs is not yet known

October 20, 2025

Washington Commanders coach Dan Quinn says Jayden Daniels’ right hamstring injury is not significant or long-term. But Quinn said Monday that he does not know yet whether the quarterback will be available to play against the Kansas City Chiefs. Daniels had an MRI exam a day after leaving in the third quarter of Washington’s 44-22 loss at the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Washington (3-4) has lost two games in a row heading into its contest at Kansas City (4-3) next Monday night.

No Hail Mary magic this time and Moody’s last-play kick lifts the Bears past the Commanders 25-24

October 13, 2025

It wasn’t quite the same drama as the Hail Mary that decided these teams’ game a year ago, but Caleb Williams and the Bears did get the better of Jayden Daniels and the Commanders on a final-play score this time. Chicago defeated Washington 25-24 on Jake Moody’s 38-yard field goal Monday night. The Bears extended their winning streak to three games under first-year coach Ben Johnson. Washington continued its pattern of alternating wins and losses in 2025 and flopped with a chance to pull even with the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles atop the NFC East.

Commanders’ Jayden Daniels won’t relive the Hail Mary that beat Bears a year ago

October 12, 2025

Jayden Daniels sees no point in reliving the “Hail Maryland” or “Fail Mary” play that lifted Washington to a victory over Chicago a year ago. So what if the teams’ rematch is going to be played on national television Monday night and everyone else will be discussing it? Daniels figures the 52-yard, last-play touchdown pass he threw to Noah Brown in 2024 is not going to help the Commanders beat the Bears this time. Washington comes in with a 3-2 record and a chance to pull even with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles atop the NFC East. Chicago enters on a two-game winning streak.

The Nationals are hiring Red Sox Assistant GM Paul Toboni to run baseball operations: AP source

September 24, 2025

A person with knowledge of the move tells The Associated Press that the Washington Nationals are set to hire Boston Red Sox senior vice president and assistant general manager Paul Toboni to run their baseball operations department. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity on Wednesday because Toboni’s move to the Nationals had not been announced. The 35-year-old Toboni was with the Red Sox for a decade, starting there as an intern in 2015, then moving up through their scouting department until becoming an assistant GM in November 2023.

Commanders’ Terry McLaurin misses practice and Jayden Daniels is a limited participant

September 24, 2025

Injured Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin has missed practice and quarterback Jayden Daniels is participating in a limited fashion. Wednesday’s practice was Washington’s first since Daniels sat out last weekend’s 41-24 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders with an injured left knee. McLaurin left the victory against the Raiders in the second half after making a 56-yard catch that set up a short touchdown run by rookie Jacory “Bill” Croskey-Merritt. The team listed McLaurin’s injury as to his quadriceps muscle. Washington plays at the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Coach Dan Quinn called it pretty normal for an NFL player to seek a second opinion after being diagnosed by a team’s medical staff.

September 19, 2025

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders because of an injured left knee.

It will be the first start for Mariota since 2022 with the Atlanta Falcons.

September 17, 2025

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will not practice earlier than Friday while recovering from an injured knee. Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Daniels went through a rehabilitation session and threw on the field but would not take part in that day’s work with teammates. The Commanders host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Last season’s AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year was hurt in the fourth quarter of Washington’s 27-18 loss at the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has a knee injury. It’s too soon to know if he can play Sunday

September 15, 2025

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is dealing with a knee injury, and coach Dan Quinn says the AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year’s status for the team’s next game is up in the air. The Commanders host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Daniels had an MRI on his knee. Quinn said the player’s status is considered day to day. Daniels was hurt in Washington’s 27-18 loss at the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. The second-year QB was sacked four times and faced pressure throughout the game from a blitz-heavy Packers’ defense.

Commanders’ Austin Ekeler is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, AP source says

September 13, 2025

A person with knowledge of the player’s status tells The Associated Press that Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler will miss the rest of the season because of a torn right Achilles tendon. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Saturday because nothing had been announced by the club about the extent of Ekeler’s injury. The 30-year-old Ekeler was in his ninth season in the NFL and second with the Commanders. He is the second player on the team who got a season-ending injury in Washington’s 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.

Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders have not looked nearly as good so far this season

September 12, 2025

It’s only been two games so far, but Jayden Daniels and the rest of the Washington Commanders have looked quite a bit like the oldest team in the NFL and very little like the club that went 12-5 and made it to the NFC title game last season. The offense is nowhere near as explosive or as efficient as it was as Daniels earned AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. And the defense was not up to the task in a 27-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night that dropped Washington’s record to 1-1.

September 12, 2025

A person with knowledge of the player’s status tells The Associated Press that the Washington Commanders believe starting running back Austin Ekeler tore his right Achilles tendon in their loss to the Green Bay Packers but are awaiting tests to confirm the severity of the injury. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because nothing had been announced by the club. Ekeler is a 30-year-old in his ninth NFL season and second with Washington. He fell to the ground on a play in the fourth quarter of Green Bay’s 27-18 victory on Thursday night. It was a non-contact injury.
