Commanders coach Dan Quinn provides Jayden Daniels injury update
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an elbow dislocation. Backup Marcus Mariota is expected to start while Daniels consults with specialists regarding his recovery.
Why it matters
The injury significantly impacts the Commanders' roster strategy and performance outlook for the current NFL season.
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered an elbow dislocation during Sunday’s 37-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and will not play in the Week 3 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.
Veteran backup Marcus Mariota will be the Commanders signal caller in the team’s next game. He played well after Daniels got hurt in the second half, completing 11-of-16 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown.
Daniels had imaging done on his elbow on Monday, but head coach Dan Quinn wouldn’t reveal any information from the results of those images.
