Washington Commanders clap back at suggestion team ‘abandoned’ Jayden Daniels after injury

Jayden Daniels is sidelined for the Washington Commanders' Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a dislocated elbow sustained during a previous matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. This devastating injury threatens the team's aspirations of competing in the NFC East. Daniels, who has faced numerous injuries in the past, could be out for an extended period.

The timing of this injury adds to a challenging month for Daniels, who has faced public scrutiny for his reluctance to allow another LSU player to wear his jersey number. Following the incident, internet sleuths attempted to gauge the team's support for Daniels after video footage showed his teammates walking past him to the locker room during halftime.

However, Washington players vehemently debunked these claims, stating that their support for Daniels is strong and unwavering. Washington coach Dan Quinn explained that officials instructed him to delay halftime due to the injury, prompting the team to regroup for the second half. Video footage also confirms that the players checked on Daniels before leaving the field.

As the Commanders currently sit at 0-2, the priority is determining how quickly Daniels can return to the field.
