Overview
- Multiple reports say Daniels’ dislocated left elbow will not require surgery after MRI and specialist reviews.
- Marcus Mariota will start while Daniels recovers, including Sunday vs. the Lions and Week 11 against the Dolphins in Madrid.
- By avoiding an IR designation, Washington keeps open the option of a return sooner than the four-game minimum IR absence.
- Daniels was injured late in the fourth quarter of the Week 9 loss to Seattle when his non-throwing arm was twisted on a tackle.
- Head coach Dan Quinn acknowledged responsibility for not removing Daniels earlier, as the 3-6 Commanders try to stabilize a four-game skid.
