QB’s Left Elbow X-Ray Results Announced
Quarterback Jayden Daniels sustained a significant injury during a recent loss to the Seattle Seahawks. In the fourth quarter, with the score at 38–7, Daniels attempted to evade a defender but awkwardly landed on his left elbow. He was immediately assisted by trainers and did not return for the remainder of the game.
Jayden Daniels’ Injury Details
After the game, Washington Commanders’ coach Dan Quinn confirmed the injury. Despite the challenging game situation and being down by 31 points, he opted not to remove Daniels from play. Reports indicate that the injury was a dislocated left elbow.
X-Ray and Prognosis
X-rays taken on Monday morning returned negative results, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Ian Rapoport from NFL Network later noted that an MRI would not be necessary. Initial beliefs suggest that the injury could have been worse, but Daniels is expected to miss several games.
Team’s Next Steps
With a current record of 3–6, the Commanders will likely rely on backup quarterback Marcus Mariota during Daniels’ recovery. Mariota has already started three games for Washington this season, securing one victory. His performance included four touchdown passes and four interceptions across four games.
Upcoming Matchup
The Commanders are scheduled to face the Detroit Lions next Sunday, November 9, at 4:25 p.m. ET. This game will be crucial as the team navigates the challenges posed by Daniels’ absence.
