Commanders Rule Out Jayden Daniels for Week 15 After Elbow Setback

Team doctors recommended rest despite no structural setback.

Overview

  • Marcus Mariota will start in Daniels' place, marking his seventh start this season.
  • Daniels will miss his seventh game of 2025 after winning Offensive Rookie of the Year last season.
  • He aggravated his previously dislocated left elbow when he landed on it while trying to make a tackle after an interception.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn said evaluations found no new structural damage as doctors advised the team to withhold him.
  • Calls to shut Daniels down for the season have grown, as Washington sits 3-10 with defensive shortcomings and analysts noting he is throwing less on the move this year.
