Commanders Confirm Jayden Daniels’ Elbow Dislocation, Turn to Marcus Mariota

The team says no surgery is required with reevaluation planned after the bye.

Overview

  • Imaging showed no ligament damage in Daniels’ left elbow, and Washington chose not to place him on injured reserve to preserve a potential in-season return.
  • Daniels is expected to miss several games on the non-throwing arm injury, with a status check slated after the Week 12 bye.
  • Marcus Mariota will start in Daniels’ absence after earlier relief duty this season, during which he totaled 639 passing yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn accepted responsibility for keeping Daniels in during the late 38-14 loss in Seattle, calling the decision “100 percent on me.”
  • The Commanders fell to 3-6 and now face the Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11 before the bye and a Week 13 home game against the Broncos.
