"After a third-quarter interception, Daniels was hit and fell on his left side, the same side as the elbow he dislocated against the Seattle Seahawks. He did not return, but head coach Dan Quinn said the move was precautionary and that the quarterback would have stayed in the game under different circumstances."
"Fans can't help but be prisoners of the moment. Now, we're stuck with another week of calls for Quinn's head and lazy Robert Griffin III comparisons. Never mind the fact that once it was clear Daniels was taking too many hits, the Commanders cut their losses and removed him from the field. As for him starting at all, let's not switch up now. The people wanted him to play. The receipts don't lie."
"Throughout the week, Daniels practiced well and looked ready to go. He would not have been cleared for contact if he weren't. Then, on Washington's opening drive, he was sharp until the Commanders stalled out at the goal line. He should have had a passing touchdown to Deebo Samuel Sr. on fourth down, but the ball was dropped. Unfortunately, that would be the high-water mark of Washington's afternoon. The Vikings dominated the Commanders in the trenches from that point forward, and Daniels had to do too much again."
Washington was shut out by the Minnesota Vikings, the first scoreless result for the Commanders since 2019. Jayden Daniels left early after a third-quarter interception when he was hit and fell on his left side, the same side as a previously dislocated elbow. He did not return and head coach Dan Quinn called the move precautionary, saying Daniels would have stayed under different circumstances. Daniels practiced well all week and was cleared for contact. The Vikings dominated the trenches, forcing Daniels to shoulder too much of the offense, and a key drive included a fumble negated by a penalty before his interception.
