MRI Finds No Ligament Damage in Jayden Daniels’ Elbow as Commanders Delay IR Decision

Washington will re-evaluate the quarterback during the Week 12 bye.

Overview

  • An MRI and multiple medical opinions determined Daniels’ dislocated left elbow requires no surgery and involves no ligament damage.
  • The Commanders are not placing him on injured reserve, preserving the option for an earlier return than the four-game IR minimum.
  • He is expected to miss Week 10 against the Lions and Week 11 against the Dolphins in Madrid before being assessed during the bye.
  • Marcus Mariota will start at quarterback until Daniels is cleared to return.
  • Washington is 3-6 with four straight losses, a context reporters note could influence the timing of any comeback.
