"Daniels was spotted in an immobilizing sling in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions after dislocating his elbow late in a defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. He is out indefinitely, but did not go to injured reserve after an MRI revealed that there was no ligament damage. It was the latest in a series of constant injury worries for the Commanders this season."
"According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, citing sources with close knowledge of the situation, Daniels' recovery time could be 3-to-6 weeks. That's a promising prognosis, especially considering the Commanders have a bye week in the middle of that. Even so, it's done nothing to diminish the debate around whether Washington should put its most prized possession in harm's way down the stretch. I'm told Jayden Daniels could potentially be back after three weeks on that elbow issue. Not gonna need surgery. They're not putting him on injured reserve, but talking to the team, people with (Daniels), this could turn iinto a five-to-six week thing real fast , depending on when they revisit this thing, into a two to two-and-a-half, three week thing."
Quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered an elbow dislocation and was seen in an immobilizing sling; MRI showed no ligament damage, so surgery was not expected and injured reserve was not used. Recovery projections range from three to six weeks, a window that could include the team's bye week. The absence removes a dynamic playmaker whose aggressive style has increased injury risk and contributed to a season-long string of team injuries. The organization faces a choice between returning him quickly if recovery is short or protecting his long-term health and roster stability if recovery trends longer.
