Latest on Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' elbow injury
Tracking the latest updates to Jayden Daniels as he looks to return to action for the Commanders.
On September 20, 2026, during the Week 2 game between the Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys, quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a left elbow dislocation, the same injury he had last November. This news caused panic among Commanders fans, as the team was just one play away from tying the game but ultimately lost. Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, who had the same injury 19 years ago, reassured fans that Daniels would play through the injury, trying to calm nerves.
Fortunately, Washington got positive news as Daniels would not need surgery and would avoid a stint on injured reserve. Head coach Dan Quinn stated that Daniels' status would be determined week-to-week. Daniels missed the following week's game against the Seattle Seahawks but was present at practice with a protective brace on his left arm.
His status for the upcoming Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts in London is currently unclear, as he has practiced this week and traveled with the team to London.
