Commanders’ Jayden Daniels Suffers Serious Left Elbow Injury in 38-14 Loss to Seahawks

Initial reports point to a dislocated left elbow with his return unclear until imaging.

Overview

  • Daniels was injured on a second-and-goal scramble when Seattle linebacker Drake Thomas tackled him, and his left elbow bent at an unnatural angle.
  • Trainers applied an air cast on the field, and Daniels walked to the locker room under his own power as players gathered around.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Daniels is expected to be sidelined indefinitely with a dislocated left elbow pending a Monday MRI and further evaluation.
  • Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels and is positioned to start if he is unavailable; he previously went 1-2 while starting during Daniels’ knee and hamstring absences.
  • Seattle dominated behind Sam Darnold’s four first-half touchdown passes as Washington fell to 3-6, with coach Dan Quinn facing criticism for leaving Daniels in during late garbage time.
