Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Injures the Same Left Elbow He Dislocated Last Year
On Sunday, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a left elbow injury against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
The injury occurred with 3 seconds remaining before halftime when left guard Chris Paul stepped on Daniels' foot as he backed away from center at the Dallas 1-yard line.
Medical analyst Dr. Jesse Morse wrote on X that Daniels appears to have re-dislocated the same left elbow he injured in 2025, when he also struggled with a sprained knee and pulled hamstring.
Fox NFL analyst Tom Brady expressed shock upon seeing the replay, uttering a profanity, while The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris reported Daniels was carted off following the "devastating left arm injury."
This setback arrives early in the 2026 season for the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, after the Commanders previously shut Daniels down for the final 3 games of 2025 to manage his recovery.
