Jayden Daniels Doesn’t Need Surgery on His Elbow and He’ll Avoid IR for Now, AP Source Says
Jayden Daniels avoided surgery and injured reserve after a dislocated elbow, with Marcus Mariota stepping in as starter; Daniels will be re-evaluated during the bye week, team officials said.
- On Sunday, Ian Rapoport reported Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders quarterback, won't need surgery for his dislocated left elbow and will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve.
- At the end of a sack in Sunday's game, Daniels dislocated his left elbow when his non-throwing arm bent awkwardly, and an X-ray shortly after showed no fracture.
- Marcus Mariota will start in Daniels' place, and Dan Quinn said `We haven't discussed any of that` Monday as Daniels will be re-evaluated during the bye week after the Week 11 matchup in Madrid.
- Three of Washington Commanders' top five receivers are sidelined, and the team has lost four consecutive games, leaving Jayden Daniels' availability for the rest of the season uncertain.
- MRI results and medical evaluations were encouraging, NFL reporting indicated the injury was less severe than first feared, and former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner reflected on a similar dislocated elbow.
