"Jayden Daniels tried with everything he had to get back and stay healthy this season. The Washington Commanders gave their superstar quarterback every chance to salvage something from the campaign, but it wasn't to be. And now, the signal-caller won't be seen in a competitive setting until 2026. The Commanders shut Daniels down for their final three games. He's played just a handful of snaps since Week 9 after suffering a dislocated elbow against the Seattle Seahawks."
"Reaggravating the problem against the Minnesota Vikings was the final straw, and the risk now far outweighs the reward of his participation. Daniels was disappointed, but at least he is getting the chance to practice. The former LSU phenom hasn't been cleared for contact yet. With two games in quick succession over the festive period, including a Christmas Day encounter against the Dallas Cowboys, there was no point in stringing everyone along anymore."
"Jayden Daniels is a super tough player, and I know he wants to play, but shutting him down makes sense for Washington. The season is lost, and if he's not cleared for Week 16, not worth the risk in Weeks 17 & 18."
Jayden Daniels attempted to return but re-aggravated a dislocated elbow suffered in Week 9, prompting the Washington Commanders to shut him down for the final three games. He has played only a handful of snaps since the injury and has not been cleared for contact. Daniels is allowed to practice but will not participate in competitive games during the remainder of the season and will be sidelined until 2026. The team prioritized long-term health over short-term play despite Daniels' competitiveness and disappointment. Team insiders judged that avoiding further risk outweighed any potential late-season benefit.
