Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (rib) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears

Daniels did it all for the Commanders, helping turn them into NFC East contenders by throwing for 1,410 yards, six touchdowns, two interceptions and a league-leading 75.6 completion percentage. He scored four more scores and gained 372 yards on the ground, and even before his early exit against Carolina, he had already run for 50 yards.

His ability to suit up makes for a prime rookie matchup with Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who was taken one spot ahead of Daniels at No. 1 overall in April's draft.

While Daniels racked up numerous accolades and highlight-reel performances in the early going, Williams struggled to find his footing, but he has recently broken through with three straight wins – the last of which came in a four-touchdown game against the Jaguars in London Chicago's Week 7 Bye.

With Caleb rested and ready and Daniels healthy enough to play, the stage is set for the first NFL matchup of their young careers.

Chicago (4-2) and Washington (5-2) begin Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
