"You had Daniels, who is highly competitive, desperate to play and help his teammates. You had head coach Dan Quinn, who is player-centric and wants to salvage something from a lost campaign. You also had general manager Adam Peters, whom fans believe may have forced the issue to protect his investment. Commanders shutting down Jayden Daniels reeks of Adam Peters' influence"
"Something changed in recent days. Daniels hasn't been cleared for contact yet and is unlikely to be before Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. With a Christmas Day clash versus the Dallas Cowboys coming after that, those in power decided not to drag this on for much longer. Quinn acknowledged that it was a partly medical and partly team decision. The coach also revealed that Peters was part of the meeting that informed Daniels he would be shut down for the rest of 2025."
Jayden Daniels will not play for the Washington Commanders again in 2025 after a series of injuries including knee and hamstring issues and a dislocated elbow. Team leaders combined medical and organizational concerns to shut him down for the remainder of the season. Head coach Dan Quinn emphasized the value of live-game reps for Daniels' development, while general manager Adam Peters participated in the meeting that informed Daniels of the decision. Daniels will continue to practice with the team but will not take game snaps, and he will support veteran Marcus Mariota as Mariota assumes starting responsibilities. Front-office intervention aimed to protect Daniels' long-term health and the franchise investment.
