Yahoo Sports NFL on Jayden Daniels

Jayden Daniels out with gruesome elbow injury; likely multi-game absence.

Jayden Daniels suffered a gruesome elbow injury on the last play of the first half against Dallas, taking him out of Sunday's game at minimum and likely causing him to miss multiple games. The source notes Daniels dealt with several injuries in 2025 including a dislocated left elbow presumptively similar to this one, and his absence will have an irrevocable impact on the Commanders season. Marcus Mariota is a capable backup but Daniels is on another level with dynamic playmaking ability unique to him; Washington is a different team without him and will have an uphill battle to remain competitive while he's out.
