Jayden Daniels returns for the Commanders and leads an early touchdown drive against the Giants
Daniels completed an early four-play scoring drive in his return from a dislocated elbow, and Washington said he can play with a brace.
- On Sunday, October 11, 2026, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels returned to play the New York Giants after missing two games due to a dislocated elbow suffered in Week 2.
- The injury occurred during Washington's 37-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on September 20; Daniels was ruled out of Week 4 after limited practice participation.
- Despite medical clearance, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that NFL doctors believe it is a matter of "when, not if" Daniels suffers another left elbow injury, though specialists deemed a brace viable.
- Commanders offensive coordinator David Blough said Thursday that the third-year star would be a "full go" Sunday; Daniels claims the brace does not limit his ability to take snaps.
- Sitting at a 1-3 record, Washington relies on Daniels' early-season performance: 56.9 percent completion rate, 260 yards, and three touchdowns without an interception across his first two games.
