"Daniels had two good weeks of practice before finally getting the all-clear to feature once again. Fans were cautiously optimistic, but going up against the Minnesota Vikings' blitz-happy defense under Brian Flores left enough reasons for trepidation. Still, everyone was confident... until they weren't. The former LSU standout never looked comfortable. Daniels was either favoring the arm or the brace that was protecting it. Things went from bad to worse in the third quarter, with far graver ramifications. Daniels threw a screen pass that was tipped and eventually picked by Andrew Van Ginkel. The signal-caller unwisely tried to pursue, despite wide receiver Terry McLaurin closing quickly. He was blindsided by Isaiah Rodgers and landed heavily on the elbow."
"Unsurprisingly, Daniels looked in severe pain. The Commanders took a good look at the Heisman Trophy winner on the sidelines before going to the medical tent. He was officially listed as questionable to return, but judging by his reaction upon leaving the assessment area, it didn't look especially promising. If this turns out to be a major reaggravation of the injury, serious questions will be asked of head coach Dan Quinn and his staff."
Jayden Daniels returned to play against the Minnesota Vikings after missing time with a dislocated elbow sustained in Week 9 at Seattle. Daniels practiced for two weeks and received medical clearance, but struggled during the game and appeared to favor his arm and brace. A tipped screen pass was intercepted, and Daniels attempted to pursue the play; he was blindsided on the sideline by Isaiah Rodgers and landed heavily on the elbow. He was evaluated on the sideline and in the medical tent and listed questionable to return. A major reaggravation would prompt scrutiny of head coach Dan Quinn and the team's decision to play him.
