Jayden Daniels Dislocates Non-Throwing Elbow Late in Blowout, Likely Out Most of Season

A veteran NFL physician says the injury should not threaten his career or require surgery.

Overview

  • X-rays showed no fracture and confirmed an elbow dislocation suffered late in the fourth quarter with Washington trailing 38-7.
  • Daniels was injured on a goal-line tackle with 7:29 remaining, prompting questions about why he remained in a decided game.
  • Sports doctor David Chao assessed that the non-throwing elbow injury likely will not need Tommy John surgery and could even allow a late-season return.
  • The quarterback walked to the tunnel under his own power after the play and had just returned from a hamstring absence following earlier knee issues.
  • Daniels finished 16-of-22 for 153 yards with one interception and four sacks as Washington fell to 3-6 a year after a 12-5 season.
