"Daniels has sustained a knee sprain, low-grade hamstring strain, and dislocated elbow in the six games he's played this season. The punishment and his playing style have taken their toll. Whether this results in a change of approach moving forward is debatable, but the most significant talking point right now is whether he should come back at all in 2025."
"While the Commanders didn't place Daniels on injured reserve, his situation remains precarious. If he goes back out there and gets hurt again, the repercussions would be catastrophic. At the same time, he needs to generate some positivity from the season, and there is no substitute for experience in a competitive setting. Commanders insider Ben Standing, who now covers the team independently, thought bringing Daniels back for a couple of games could do more harm than good."
Jayden Daniels has suffered multiple injuries in six games this season, including a knee sprain, low-grade hamstring strain, and a dislocated elbow, significantly impacting his performance. The Washington Commanders sit 3-8 at their bye after reaching the NFC Championship last year, eliminating playoff hopes and any chance of a winning record. The remaining games will focus on roster evaluation while Dan Quinn continues to compete. Daniels was not placed on injured reserve, creating a precarious situation where re-injury could be catastrophic, yet meaningful game reps late in the season could help generate momentum and experience.
