Commanders Shut Down Jayden Daniels for Rest of 2025 After Elbow Setback

The team cited long-term health after a re-aggravated dislocated left elbow, with doctors not clearing him for contact.

Overview

  • Coach Dan Quinn announced the decision Monday after Daniels re-injured his non-throwing left elbow during his Week 14 return at Minnesota.
  • Washington kept Daniels on the active roster rather than placing him on injured reserve, allowing him to practice over the final weeks.
  • Marcus Mariota will start the remaining three games, which include two meetings with the Eagles and one with the Cowboys.
  • Daniels said the season has been “frustrating,” finishing with 1,262 passing yards, eight touchdowns, three interceptions and 278 rushing yards across seven appearances.
  • The Commanders are 4-10 and eliminated from playoff contention after a season marked by widespread injuries and a defensive drop-off.
