"Daniels was still in the game during a blowout versus the Seahawks, midway through the fourth quarter. He fell awkwardly after striving to get into the end zone, and the concern was immediate. Anyone fortunate enough not to see the replay should keep it that way; it was a gruesome fall that saw a cast immediately being placed on the signal-caller's left arm."
"Obviously, further tests will be conducted before anything is confirmed. But looking at the issue in real time, it would be a bombshell of epic proportions if Daniels retook the field in 2025. A campaign that promised much has completely gone off the rails. Daniels suffered knee and hamstring injuries that caused him to miss time earlier in this season. And now, an arm injury is going to keep him out for a lot longer."
"Questions will be asked about why Daniels was still in the line of fire when he was getting pummeled in a meaningless game throughout the second half. He's a competitive guy who wants to be on the field at all times. But the coaching staff should have recognized this situation for what it was and reacted accordingly. This is a harsh lesson, and Daniels has paid the price. And there is just no telling where the Commanders go from here."
Second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a severe left arm injury after falling awkwardly while attempting to reach the end zone late in a Week 9 blowout loss to the Seahawks. A cast was immediately applied and further imaging and tests are pending. Daniels previously missed time this season with knee and hamstring injuries. The new arm injury threatens his ability to play in 2025 and further damages team hopes for the season. Questions are rising about why Daniels remained in a game that had become one-sided, exposing him to repeated contact. The coaching staff faces scrutiny for personnel decisions.
