Overview
- Washington confirmed through multiple medical opinions and an MRI that Daniels’ dislocated left, non-throwing elbow does not require surgery.
- The Commanders will not place Daniels on injured reserve and will reassess his status during the Week 12 bye.
- Daniels is expected to miss Week 10 against the Lions and Week 11 versus the Dolphins in Madrid, with Marcus Mariota starting and Josh Johnson backing up.
- A return as soon as Week 13 against Denver is described as possible, contingent on the post-bye evaluation and his recovery progress.
- Head coach Dan Quinn acknowledged he erred by leaving Daniels in late during the blowout loss when the injury occurred; the QB had already missed time this season with knee and hamstring issues as Washington sits 3-6.
