"MINNEAPOLIS -- Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and tight end Zach Ertz each left Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with injuries. Daniels, who missed three games with a dislocated elbow suffered Nov. 9, was forced out with 8 minutes, 24 seconds remaining in the third quarter when he was hurt after he threw an interception and tried to chase down linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel."
"Ertz was hurt with 2:10 left in the third quarter when he reached for a pass on second-and-11 and was hit in his leg by safety Jay Ward. Ertz had to be helped off the field and was unable to put pressure on his right leg. He was soon carted to the locker room, a towel draped over his head and was ruled out with a knee injury early in the fourth."
"Daniels had been cleared for contact this week and was a full participant the final two days of practice. Both he and the Commanders wanted him to return, hoping to get a chance for him to play the final five games. Daniels has finished only four of his seven starts this season and has been knocked out in each of the last three with injuries."
