Overview
- Daniels dislocated his left elbow on Sept. 20 during Washington’s Week 2 game at Dallas and was carted off the field after the play.
- General manager Adam Peters said on Sept. 25 that surgery is not currently planned and the team has not discussed placing Daniels on injured reserve.
- Daniels traveled for imaging and specialist consultations in New York and Los Angeles this week and is being described by team and league sources as week-to-week.
- Marcus Mariota will start in Week 3 while Daniels rehabs and the Commanders must soon decide whether Daniels will travel for the Week 4 London game.
- This is Daniels’ second dislocation of the same left elbow in about a year, which raises questions about re-injury risk, the use of a protective brace and short-term roster pressure for Washington.
