Overview
- X-rays showed no fracture after Daniels’ left (non-throwing) elbow dislocation late in Sunday night’s 38-14 loss to Seattle, and he walked off under his own power.
- Ian Rapoport reported Daniels will miss multiple games as the MRI defines soft‑tissue damage and a recovery timeline.
- Head coach Dan Quinn said keeping Daniels in during a blowout was “100 percent” on him, noting they planned no designed QB runs but acknowledged the scramble risk.
- Independent sports physician David Chao assessed that surgery is unlikely and the injury is not career‑threatening, though his outlook is not an official team diagnosis.
- At 3-6 with four straight lopsided defeats, Washington turns to Marcus Mariota and keeps its defensive staff intact as coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. moves to the sideline, with CB Marshon Lattimore out for the season after an ACL tear.
