"Daniels has been missing since dislocating his elbow during a gruesome end to Washington's defeat at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks. Debates were heated about whether the Commanders should put their franchise player in harm's way with nothing much to play for other than pride, but the former LSU standout plans to get involved once medically cleared to participate."
"There was no structural or ligament damage to the elbow. Daniels was favoring it slightly at practice, which is precisely why the Commanders aren't putting too much on his plate at the moment. This is about gradually ramping things up, and Washington's decision makers have the luxury of time without making the playoffs to think about. Daniels is highly competitive. He's made his intentions about wanting to be out there with his teammates abundantly clear."
Jayden Daniels dislocated his elbow late in the Seattle game and has been absent since. He returned to practice but has not been cleared for contact while medical staff monitor his recovery. There was no structural or ligament damage to the elbow, but Daniels favored it slightly during drills. The Commanders are progressing him gradually and have the flexibility to wait because they are out of playoff contention. Week 14 availability against the Vikings remains uncertain; the team will delay his return until they have full confidence in his healing. Marcus Mariota serves as an experienced, mobile and accurate backup.
