Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels out for Seahawks game after gruesome injury
Daniels was carted off in the final seconds of the first half of the Dallas Cowboys game and didn’t return.
AUGUST 8: Quarterback Jayden Daniels for the Washington Commanders suffered a dislocated left elbow during a game against the Dallas Cowboys, causing him to be carted off the field. This is the same elbow he previously injured last season. Daniels is set to undergo further testing on Monday, though there's optimism he could return this season.
The injury happened on 3rd and goal near halftime when Daniels braced himself on the turf after slipping while receiving the snap, landing awkwardly. Daniels missed three games after the previous elbow injury last year. The Commanders will be without their star quarterback for the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks. Marcus Mariota, the backup, recorded 111 passing yards and a touchdown in limited playing time against the Cowboys and will remain under center for Washington's Week 3 matchup against Seattle.
The Seahawks defense, which allowed just 151 total yards against Arizona, will be a formidable challenge for the Commanders seeking their first win of the season.
