"The Commanders are now 3-8 heading into Sunday's matchup vs. Denver (9-2) but have lost six consecutive games. Quinn said he's still not sure when Daniels will return. "It's important that Jayden's getting going, learning to play this position at the highest level competitively," Quinn said. "Also doing it safely. Those are reps that you develop as well. It's a skill just like throwing and processing. All those things are important.""
"Daniels has already missed five games this season because of three different injuries. He sat out Weeks 3 and 4 with a sprained left knee, after it was hit by a defender's helmet at the end of a run. He returned for three games then suffered a right hamstring injury on a sack vs. Dallas in Week 7. Daniels then returned for one game before suffering the elbow injury with 7:39 remaining and Washington trailing the Seahawks 38-7."
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will return to practice this week but is considered a longshot to play versus the Broncos on Sunday night. Daniels has not been cleared for contact and has not played since dislocating his left, non-throwing elbow on Nov. 2. He did not require surgery and suffered no structural damage. The team did not place him on injured reserve after the injury. Daniels has missed five games this season due to a sprained left knee, a right hamstring injury, and the elbow dislocation. Washington is 3-8 and on a six-game losing streak. Coach Dan Quinn emphasized the need for competitive, safe reps and said he is unsure when Daniels will return.
