ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered no ligament injury in his dislocated left elbow and will not be positioned on injured reserve, sources advised ESPN on Friday.
Daniels’ damage is not going to require surgical procedure. He can be reevaluated throughout Washington’s bye week following its Week 11 matchup in opposition to Miami in Madrid.
Daniels suffered the damage throughout Sunday’s 38-14 loss to Seattle when his left arm bent backward on the finish of a sack with 7 minutes, 39 seconds left within the recreation.
Had the damage been as unhealthy as feared, he seemingly would have been positioned on injured reserve earlier within the week, however the Commanders needed him to bear extra assessments to substantiate the preliminary analysis on the extent of the damage. An X-ray shortly after the damage revealed no fracture.
It is unsure what this implies for Daniels’ standing the remainder of the season. Commanders coach Dan Quinn declined to reply a hypothetical earlier within the week about whether or not Daniels might return this season as soon as wholesome.
“We’ve not mentioned any of that,” Quinn stated Monday.
Washington (3-6) has misplaced 4 consecutive video games getting into Sunday’s recreation in opposition to Detroit (5-3). Marcus Mariota will begin instead of Daniels.
Three of the Commanders’ prime 5 receivers from the start of the season are sidelined: Terry McLaurin (quad), Noah Brown (groin, on IR) and Luke McCaffrey (fractured collarbone, on IR).
Daniels had missed three video games already this season, two due to a sprained left knee and one other after hurting his proper hamstring. He has thrown for 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions whereas speeding for 262 yards and two scores.
