Jayden Daniels consulting specialists after dislocating left elbow Sunday

As the Washington Commanders ponder Jayden Daniels' future this season, former star quarterback Kurt Warner is urging the team to let the young player play through his recent elbow injury. The NFL suffered a slew of injuries in Week 2, including shattered hamstring and non-throwing elbow woes for quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels respectively.

While Daniels' elbow status remains uncertain, Warner shared his personal experience with ESPN's NFL Live, claiming that he suffered the same injury in 2007 and returned to action the following week. "I suffered the exact same injury back in ’07, and I played the next week," Warner stated. He believes Daniels can manage the pain and play through the elbow injury, as it won't impact his throwing ability.

Warner added that the left arm may cause some movement issues, but Daniels should be able to play through it. Warner, who is now 36, also noted that he wore a brace, made adjustments to how he passed the ball, and even changed his decision-making process to play through the injury. He doesn't think the Commanders should worry about the long-term implications of Daniels having had a similar injury twice before, and emphasized that the quarterback should want to be on the field.

Warner's comments come after Daniels dislocated his elbow for the third time in as many weeks, missing three games last season and ending his season with the same injury in Week 14.
