Overview
- Daniels dislocated his left elbow in Week 9, and head coach Dan Quinn said imaging showed no ligament damage and no surgery is required.
- Washington has not placed Daniels on injured reserve, which preserves the option of an earlier return this season.
- Theismann said a late-season appearance could aid Daniels’ growth, but only if he is “medically cleared 100%.”
- He advised Daniels to protect himself by sliding, running out of bounds, or throwing the ball away rather than absorbing extra hits.
- Coverage places Daniels’ setback within Washington’s long history of quarterback injuries, including Joe Theismann, Robert Griffin III, and Alex Smith.
