"It's been another grueling road back for Daniels after he suffered a dislocated elbow against the Seattle Seahawks. The Commanders have taken every possible precaution during his recovery. After another strong week of practice, which also included full participation for the first time on Thursday and Friday, that was enough for those in power to give him the green light."
"Things didn't click early for Jayden Daniels. The Commanders had no answer for Brian Flores' blitz packages, and he completely overwhelmed Kliff Kingsbury to the point where almost no legitimate momentum could be generated. Daniels wasn't clicking. He had no time. The timing was also off, and there was a lot more hesitancy. This is not the assured, confident figure that took the NFL by storm in 2024."
Jayden Daniels returned from a dislocated elbow after participating fully in late-week practices and receiving clearance to play. Fan trepidation grew because the Vikings rank highly in pressures and use aggressive blitz packages. The Commanders failed to adjust effectively to Brian Flores' schemes, and Daniels struggled with timing, lack of time, and hesitancy. Washington suffered its eighth straight loss, and Daniels did not finish the game. The performance exposed lingering concerns about his recovery, protection, and the effectiveness of the offensive game plan against heavy pressure.
