STACKED’s take
Daniels out with dislocated left elbow; same injury as last season, surgery possible.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow in the team's 37-20 Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys; the same elbow he injured last season. Initial X-rays eliminated fracture possibility, but further testing on Monday will determine exact timeline and whether surgery is required. Quinn expressed "optimism" he'll suit up again this season. The injury occurred on 3rd and goal shortly before halftime when Daniels tried to brace himself after slipping while receiving the snap and landed awkwardly. This is a crucial blow for the third-year quarterback coming off an injury-riddled 2025 campaign where he suffered a knee sprain, hamstring injury, and a dislocated elbow in Washington's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks; he missed three games after the previous elbow injury.
