26 Sep
Summary
- Commanders face extensive injury list impacting key players.
- Jayden Daniels dislocated his elbow but avoids surgery.

The Washington Commanders are grappling with a significant injury outbreak as they approach Week 3 of the season. Several key players have been sidelined, impacting the team's performance. Quarterback Jayden Daniels recently dislocated his left non-throwing elbow for the second time in ten months. While this injury is significant, he will not need surgery or a stint on injured reserve, offering some positive news.
Despite Daniels' avoidance of surgery, he will be absent for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Commanders are also missing other crucial players, including Laremy Tunsil, Johnny Newton, Frankie Luvu, Chig Okonkwo, and Nick Cross. Another notable absence is cornerback Trey Amos, who is working back from a sprained ankle sustained after a fibula fracture last November. He began the season on injured reserve, necessitating a four-game absence.
There is growing speculation about Amos's potential return, fueled by his recent social media workout videos and his travel with the team. Head coach Dan Quinn expressed optimism about Amos's rehabilitation, noting his speed and on-field work. Quinn stated that Amos is hitting all the necessary markers in his recovery, signaling a positive outlook for his eventual return to the struggling secondary.
