  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Not cleared for contact yet

    Daniels (elbow) has not been cleared for contract, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    An earlier report said Daniels was cleared for contact despite already being ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Giants. It turns out that was just a typo or transcription error, with Commanders head coach Dan Quinn having actually said the opposite. Still, Quinn didn't rule Daniels out beyond Week 15 and once again suggested that the QB won't be shut down for the year unless he's truly unable to play. In any case, Marcus Mariota will start against the Giants on Sunday.

  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Not cleared for contact

    Daniels (elbow) has not been cleared for contact, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Daniels re-injured his dislocated left elbow in his first game back in the lineup, making an early exit from the blowout loss at Minnesota in Week 14. The Commanders will now start Marcus Mariota in Week 15 against the Giants, but Daniels hasn't been ruled out beyond that despite not having clearance for contact.

  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Ruled out for Week 15

    Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Daniels (elbow) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Daniels suffered a left elbow injury during Washington's blowout loss to the Vikings in Week 14, and though it was reported that the second-year QB could have re-entered the contest and is not dealing with a long-term issue, backup Marcus Mariota will draw at least one more start. It remains to be seen whether Daniels could be sidelined longer than just Week 15, as his return versus Minnesota was his first game action since Week 7. Adam Schefter of ESPN confirms that he has not suffered any structural setbacks. Daniels' next chance to take the field will come Week 16 at home against the Eagles on Saturday, Dec. 20.

  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: No long-term concerns with elbow

    Coach Dan Quinn noted Monday that Daniels is "sore" following Week 14 action, but added that there are no "long-term concerns" with the QB's left (non-throwing) elbow, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Per Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C., Quinn previously relayed that Daniels (left elbow) could have returned to Sunday's 31-0 loss to Vikings after exiting the contest, but it was a coach's decision to keep the signal-caller on the sideline. That said, Quinn indicated Monday that Daniels will be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, with the QB's Week 15 status yet to be determined.

  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Could have reentered Sunday's game

    Coach Dan Quinn said after Sunday's 31-0 loss at Minnesota that Daniels (left elbow) could have returned to the game, but it was a coach's decision to keep him on the sideline, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

    Daniels took a hit to his previously dislocated left elbow on his interception in the third quarter and was in visible discomfort going to the medical tent. He was deemed questionable to return but never reentered the contest, with Marcus Mariota directing the Commanders offense the rest of the way. In what was his first game action since Week 9, Daniels finished with 78 yards, no touchdowns and one interception on 9-for-20 passing and four carries for 16 yards.

  • Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Appears to aggravate elbow injury

    Daniels exited Sunday's game at Minnesota due to a left elbow injury.

    Daniels was donning a sleeve on his left elbow Sunday in his first game action since Week 9, when he suffered an ugly dislocation that resulted in three contests on the sideline. He appeared to aggravate the issue when he got hit on a pass attempt in the third quarter in which the ball popped into the air and was corralled for an interception by the Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel. Daniels yielded the Commanders offense to Marcus Mariota upon his departure.
