Overview
- Team evaluations found no broken bones or ligament damage in Daniels’ dislocated left elbow, and surgery was ruled out with a reevaluation planned during the bye.
- Washington declined to place Daniels on injured reserve to preserve the option of an earlier return later this season.
- The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of a 38-14 loss to the Seahawks that dropped the Commanders to 3-6.
- Veteran Marcus Mariota is expected to take over at quarterback after logging 639 passing yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions in relief this season.
- Head coach Dan Quinn faced criticism for leaving Daniels in during a blowout and said he was “bummed,” as broader reaction included the president’s on-air remark that Daniels must “stop the injuries somehow.”
