Overview
- Daniels dislocated his left elbow on Sunday, Sept. 20, on the final play of the first half against the Dallas Cowboys and was carted off the field.
- After flying to multiple specialist consultations in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere this week, Daniels and the Commanders chose to forgo immediate surgery and are treating him conservatively.
- General manager Adam Peters said the team has not discussed placing Daniels on injured reserve and that he is considered week-to-week as he begins rehab while wearing a protective brace.
- Daniels is ruled out for Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks and veteran Marcus Mariota will start with rookie Athan Kaliakmanis as the listed backup.
- Viral video of the on-field response prompted public scrutiny but coaches and players said officials directed the halftime clearance, teammates checked on Daniels and the club must still decide whether to bring him to the Week 4 London game.
