Daniels Out: Commanders QB Injured Again
1 Dec
Summary
- Jayden Daniels sidelined with left elbow injury, missing tonight's game.
- Daniels suffered ligament damage in Week 9, avoiding surgery.
- He could potentially return next week against the Vikings.
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out of tonight's game against the Denver Broncos because of a left-elbow injury. The injury, which occurred in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, involved ligament damage that did not require surgery. Daniels missed the subsequent two games and the team's bye week.
Despite practicing on a limited basis, Daniels has not been cleared for contact, prompting head coach Dan Quinn to confirm his absence. This means backup quarterback Marcus Mariota will make his sixth start of the season. The Commanders are currently on a six-game losing streak.
There is optimism for Daniels' return, with a potential comeback in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Daniels has a chance to be cleared four weeks after his injury, which would be significant news for the struggling team.
