Overview
- Jayden Daniels, who dislocated his left elbow in Week 9 against Seattle, was ruled out and is inactive for Week 11 in Madrid.
- Marcus Mariota starts at quarterback against the Dolphins as Washington’s interim option under center.
- With no surgery required, a typical non-surgical elbow dislocation could allow a December return, potentially in Weeks 13 or 14 if he is cleared.
- Joe Theismann urged that Daniels play only if fully cleared and emphasized self-protection for mobile quarterbacks.
- Washington is 3-7 and dealing with multiple injuries, including Terry McLaurin’s quad issue, which may factor into decisions on Daniels’ return.
