Daniels dislocates elbow in loss
Washington's QB dislocated his left elbow late in the first half against Dallas on Sunday after being stepped on by a teammate and falling on his outstretched arm.
Same elbow injured last season
This is the second time Daniels has dislocated the same elbow. He missed 10 games last year due to injuries after a stellar rookie season in 2024.
No timetable for return
Coach Dan Quinn says Daniels underwent imaging Monday and will consult with multiple experts over the next few days, but there's no timeline for his comeback.
Mariota steps in as starter
Marcus Mariota will start Sunday against defending Super Bowl champion Seattle. The former second overall pick has thrown 15 touchdown passes against 7 interceptions with the Commanders.
Tough matchup for backup QB
Mariota faces a Seattle team on a 12-game winning streak dating back to last season. The Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl champions.
Quinn rallies around Mariota
Coach Quinn praised Daniels' performance before the injury and expressed confidence in Mariota, saying the team will rally around him until Daniels returns.
“I thought he was really playing his ass off, and we will rally so hard around Marcus until Jayden's back.”
Here's the gist
Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow in Sunday's loss to Dallas and will miss at least the next game, with Marcus Mariota taking over as starter against Seattle.
