Pro Football Rumors
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to suffer a significant left arm injury in Sunday night’s game against the Seahawks. Team medical staff quickly put an air cast on his arm. The cart came out onto the field, but he was able to walk off under his own power.
Despite a 38-7 deficit in the fourth quarter, Daniels was still in the game when a sack by Seahawks linebacker Drake Thomas caused his elbow to bend in an unnatural direction. Backup Marcus Mariota finished the game, a loss that drops the Commanders to 3-6. Their record, plus a potential extended absence from Daniels, could all but eliminate their playoff chances. Missing the postseason would be a disappointing result for a Commanders squad that made a surprise run to the NFC Championship Game last season and seemed poised to build on that success this year.
More to come.
