Jayden Daniels Dislocates Left Elbow as Commanders Name Marcus Mariota Starter

The backup Marcus Mariota now starts, underscoring a worsening injury crisis for Washington.

Overview

  • Coach Dan Quinn said Daniels is out indefinitely after a dislocated left elbow suffered with 7:39 left in a 38-14 loss to Seattle, with an MRI pending and initial X-rays reported as negative.
  • Quinn took responsibility for leaving Daniels in during the late blowout, calling the decision "100% on me."
  • Washington also lost cornerback Marshon Lattimore to a torn ACL and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey to a broken collarbone that will place him on injured reserve.
  • Mariota, who previously went 1-2 in starts this season, will start when the 3-6 Commanders host the Lions next Sunday.
  • Daniels walked off under his own power with his left arm in an air cast after being tackled near the goal line by Seahawks linebacker Drake Thomas.
