Overview
- Daniels dislocated his left elbow on Nov. 2 against Seattle, and evaluations showed no ligament damage, so surgery is not required.
- Washington did not place him on injured reserve and plans to reassess his availability after the upcoming bye, leaving a return possible once he is fully healthy.
- Marcus Mariota remains the starter, with Daniels ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins in Madrid before the Week 12 break.
- Joe Theismann said Daniels should play only if he is “medically cleared 100%” and advised him to protect himself by sliding, running out of bounds or throwing the ball away.
- This marks Daniels’ third absence of the season following two hamstring setbacks, a blow noted in the context of the franchise’s fraught quarterback injury history.
