Overview
- Head coach Dan Quinn said Monday the team will sit Daniels for the final three games, calling the choice part medical and part team, and noted Daniels will continue to practice.
- Daniels was re-evaluated Monday and not cleared, and the decision was finalized with a short turnaround on the schedule this week, according to team and media reports.
- Marcus Mariota will start the remaining games, with Washington slated to face Philadelphia, Dallas, and Philadelphia.
- Daniels dislocated his left elbow in Week 9, returned and re-aggravated it on Dec. 7 against the Vikings, after earlier knee and hamstring injuries cost him time.
- He ends his season with a 60.6% completion rate for 1,262 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions, plus 278 rushing yards and two scores, as the 4-10 Commanders are already out of playoff contention.
