"Daniels went down with a dislocated elbow against the Seattle Seahawks. With the Commanders going nowhere fast at 3-8, fans and experts have speculated whether the No. 2 pick in 2024 will be shut down. That wouldn't go down well with the player or his teammates, but Washington needs to start forward thinking rather than attempting to salvage something from a lost campaign."
"Washington's situation with [Jayden] Daniels is more complicated from my view. Sources have maintained that while Daniels could return as quickly as three weeks from the occurrence of the injury (so, Week 13 vs. Denver), the team has loosely braced for a five-to-six-week absence just in case. That tells me that shutting him down remains a possibility, based on his durability this season (three separate injuries) and the team's current standing."
Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow against the Seattle Seahawks after earlier sustaining a knee sprain and a low-grade hamstring strain. Washington sits at 3-8 and faces a decision about his availability during the upcoming bye week. Medical timelines range from a possible three-week return to a five-to-six-week absence, leaving shutdown as a real option given his season-long durability issues. Team personnel will evaluate healing progress, weigh long-term development against short-term gains, and consider altering his playing style to reduce future injury risk. The final determination will depend on recovery speed and the team's strategic priorities.
