Dan Quinn said "we're very optimistic heading into this week" that safety Will Harris will be able to return Sunday.
Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown among those who were out there for a light practice today, with hopes that they'll ramp up as week progresses.

#Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will indeed be returning to practice this week, a person familiar with the matter confirms. NFLN was first.

Two tidbits on Jake Moody:
1) He hit the 38-yard clincher for the Bears in the game that started Washington's ongoing losing streak
2) He, like Gay, has struggled from beyond 50 yards. Between college and the NFL, he is just 10 of 22 from 50+
