Two young quarterbacks face uncertain NFL futures after serious injuries.
In brief
Two young quarterbacks face uncertain NFL futures after serious injuries. Both Dart and Daniels could be drafted first due to injuries. Originally reported by Sky Sports.
Dart's knee injury
Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury during the first half against the Los Angeles Rams.
“Dart was ruled out for the remainder of the season this week after suffering a knee injury on the first drive of Monday night's defeat to the Los Angeles Rams.”
Daniels' elbow dislocation
Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow in Washington's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
“Daniels was forced off when he dislocated his left elbow in Washington's defeat to the Dallas Cowboys, having missed 10 games last season.”
Draft implications
Both teams may target another quarterback in the next NFL Draft.
“Their absence could yet see to both teams finding themselves in position to target another quarterback at next year's NFL Draft.”
Team impact
The Giants' new coach John Harbaugh now has veteran Jameis Winston as quarterback.
“Veteran Jameis Winston now set to take the reins under center.”
Injury history
Dart and Daniels have both faced recent injuries that could affect their NFL futures.
“Dart plays a certain way that he puts himself in harm's way, but this time it was a knee injury.”
NFL draft concerns
The NFL has seen multiple quarterbacks miss games due to injuries.
“We've had a couple of championship games now where they've been completely taken over by a backup quarterback story.”
Recent injuries
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams also suffered a hamstring injury.
“Chicago Bears quarterback Williams was carted off with a hamstring injury in his side's 9-3 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings.”
Draft uncertainty
The NFL draft could see two quarterbacks selected first due to injuries.
“There's a high chance with this happening to both quarterbacks that they could end up picking first when it comes to a draft.”
Injury risks
Small-framed quarterbacks face higher injury risks.
“Jayden Daniels is a very small-framed person, which makes him good at what he does but also a concern.”
Draft implications
The Giants and Commanders may need to draft new quarterbacks.
“They've brought in more and more rules to try and protect the quarterback, but this isn't even about that.”
The key point
Both Dart and Daniels could be drafted first due to injuries.
