Overview

  • Daniels grabbed his right hamstring after a third‑quarter strip-sack by Dallas linebacker Shemar James and was ruled out after initially being listed as questionable.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn said Daniels wanted to return, but the team held him out and set an MRI for Monday; ESPN reported he was not limping in the locker room postgame.
  • Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels and threw a pick-six as Washington fell 44-22 to drop to 3-4.
  • The new injury is to Daniels’ right hamstring; he previously missed two games with a left knee sprain, and Washington entered the game short its top three wide receivers.
  • Washington visits the Chiefs on Oct. 27, with Daniels’ status pending imaging; medical experts note hamstrings can cost players weeks, though NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported early signs were not major, and Mariota would start if needed.
