Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels sustained a left elbow injury during the fourth quarter of a 38-14 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. The injury occurred with 7:39 remaining when Daniels was sacked near Seattle's goal line, causing his left arm to bend unnaturally. Medical staff applied an air cast before he walked off the field with assistance.
Daniels completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 yards and one interception, adding 51 rushing yards and a touchdown. This marks his third injury this season; he previously missed games due to knee and hamstring issues.
Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels, leading a touchdown drive. The Commanders, now 3-6, have lost four consecutive games.
Head coach Dan Quinn expressed concern over Daniels' injury, stating, "I'm just gutted by it. I'm just bummed."
The team awaits further evaluation to determine the severity of Daniels' injury and his recovery timeline.
