Overview

  • The Commanders said Daniels will not travel to Spain and has been ruled out against the Dolphins in the NFL’s first regular-season game there.
  • Veteran Marcus Mariota is in line to start with Daniels sidelined, as Washington tries to halt a five-game skid that has dropped the team to 3-7.
  • Quinn acknowledged he should have pulled Daniels before the fourth-quarter elbow dislocation in Seattle, calling the decision "100 percent" on him.
  • Medical evaluations indicated no surgery is needed on the dislocated left elbow, and the team declined to place Daniels on injured reserve.
  • Public reaction escalated as Robert Griffin III rejected comparisons to his own injury saga, and President Donald Trump praised Mariota while urging Daniels to "stop the injuries somehow."
