“Please Tell Me It Was a Bad Dream”: Jayden Daniels’ Horrific Injury Leaves Commanders Star in Disbelief
Marcus Mariota took over after Daniels was carted off, and Fox Sports said he remained for X-rays after a left elbow injury.
- On Sunday, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a left elbow dislocation against the Dallas Cowboys during Week 2, forcing him to be carted off the field just before halftime.
- Daniels has now suffered this specific ailment twice in the past year; the current injury appears identical to the left elbow dislocation that sidelined him for four weeks during his sophomore season.
- Critics questioned head coach Dan Quinn for keeping the offense on the field for a third-and-goal play with three seconds remaining instead of kicking a field goal; Quinn defended the call, stating "at the 1-yard line, we need touchdowns."
- Backup quarterback Marcus Mariota took over the offense, and Daniels will undergo additional imaging on Monday to determine the severity of his injury and potential Week 3 availability.
- Washington faces the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, where Mariota is expected to make his first start of 2026 if Daniels remains unavailable.
