Dan Quinn Confirms Jayden Daniels’ Left Elbow Injury Tonight

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn provided a limited update on quarterback Jayden Daniels following the team’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. The game ended with a score of 38-14, and Daniels sustained a left elbow injury during the fourth quarter, specifically while scrambling on a second-and-goal play.

Jayden Daniels’ Injury Update

Quinn revealed, “The update on him is he does have a left elbow injury. I’ll update you when I know more.” This news came as the young quarterback exited the field with his left arm secured in an air cast, suggesting he might be sidelined for an extended period.

Injury Details

When asked if there were considerations about not playing Daniels amid a blowout, Quinn acknowledged the situation but clarified the nature of the play. “The one he was injured on is usually a run or a throw to the flat — it’s not a scramble,” he explained. “It wasn’t a designed read or play into that spot.”

Previous Injuries and Support for Daniels

This season has become challenging for Daniels, as he has already suffered three injuries that have impacted his playtime. Despite these setbacks, he managed to start all 17 games during his rookie year. Quinn emphasized the organization’s commitment to providing Daniels with the necessary support to stay on the field, stating, “I am certain we will give him the support to do that in every single way.”

Performance Metrics

In his six starts this season, Daniels has shown promise, completing 62.5% of his passes for a total of 1,184 yards. He has thrown eight touchdowns and two interceptions while also rushing for 262 yards and two additional touchdowns.
