Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffers elbow dislocation, Marcus Mariota set to start
Coach Dan Quinn said Daniels sustained a left elbow dislocation with no fracture and will undergo further imaging, while backup Marcus Mariota is expected to start the next game.
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his non-throwing left elbow during the loss to the Dallas Cowboys. X-ray results showed no fracture, and Daniels will travel back with the team for additional imaging tomorrow. Quinn said the team will rally around backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, who finished the game and is slated to start the upcoming matchup.
Daniels is dealing with his second consecutive season of elbow dislocations; last year he missed four weeks, returned briefly, re-aggravated the injury and missed the final four weeks of the season. Quinn acknowledged the setback, describing the situation as unfortunate.
