Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will start Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Head coach Dan Quinn told CBS' Tracy Wolfson on Sunday that Daniels will begin to prevent a setback in pregame warmups. The commanders then listed him as active before kickoff.

Daniels is dealing with a rib injury. He suffered the injury early last week against the Carolina Panthers. Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota finished in relief in the Commanders' 40-7 victory. Quinn previously said Daniels was viewed as a game-winning decision against Chicago.

Daniels' availability creates a highly anticipated matchup with the top two picks in this year's NFL Draft. The Bears selected Williams first overall, and Washington took Daniels No. 2 overall.

Both players achieved success early in their careers and led their teams to record wins. Washington enters Sunday's game 5-2 and in first place in the NFC East. Daniels is a big reason for Washington's success as one of the league's best quarterbacks early in the season.

Through seven games, Daniels has completed a league-best 75.6% of his passes, gaining 8.4 yards per attempt with six touchdowns and two interceptions. The Commanders rank fourth in the NFL with 384.1 yards per game and are tied for the league lead with the Baltimore Ravens with 31.1 points per game.

Williams has led the Bears to a 4-2 record. He has completed 65.3% of his passes for 6.6 yards per attempt with nine touchdowns and five interceptions in six starts.
