Commanders head coach Dan Quinn ruled Daniels out of Sunday’s game on Friday.
Marcus Mariota will start in Daniels’ place again in Week 4.
“He’s working incredibly hard round the clock to get back,” Quinn said.
“Ultimately doctors haven’t cleared him just yet.
“He’s absolutely doing everything he possibly can.”
Daniels sprained his left knee in the Commanders’ Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
He took a hit to his knee from a helmet at the end of a scramble in the fourth quarter of the game.
Daniels didn’t exit the game, but was left with a hefty limp.
The Commanders aren’t in too bad of shape without Daniels in the lineup though.
Mariota has played well in the place of him.

Last week, Mariota led the Commanders to a 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
“I’ve always had a belief,” he said.
“It was just hoping for the opportunity.
“I never loved the circumstance where I have to come in and play, but I was grateful for it and thankful to play.”
Alongside Daniels, the Commanders will be without their two top wide receivers in Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown.

“When you have two guys that have been reliable, made a lot of plays in this league,” offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said.
“You’ve got to find other ways to get guys touches and move the football any way you can.
“It’s just always about maximizing your personnel. It doesn’t matter who’s up, who’s down.
“As a playcaller, you’ve got to be able to adjust and maximize the guys you have and what do they do best and put them in those positions to be successful.
“Our staff takes a lot of pride in that.”
