Overview
- Imaging and multiple medical opinions found no ligament damage in Daniels’ dislocated left elbow, so surgery is not required.
- The team chose not to place Daniels on injured reserve, preserving the option for an earlier return than the IR’s four-game minimum.
- Daniels is expected to miss games against the Lions and the Dolphins in Madrid, with Mariota starting at quarterback.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports a possible return in about three weeks if progress is positive, though recovery could stretch to five or six weeks.
- Head coach Dan Quinn accepted blame for leaving Daniels in during the late stages of the Seahawks blowout; the QB had already missed time with knee and hamstring injuries this season.
