Daniels to Undergo MRI After Cowboys Loss

The Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 44-22 on Oct. 19, with Dak Prescott throwing for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels exited early in the third quarter after a Shemar James strip-sack that appeared to twist his leg; Washington called it a hamstring injury and listed him questionable. Daniels is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage, and veteran Marcus Mariota replaced him and threw a pick-six. Washington, already missing receivers Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel and Noah Brown and dealing with multiple defensive losses, fell to 3-4, raising concerns about depth. Daniels’ mother Regina Jackson publicly urged fans not to “manifest RGIII” and Robert Griffin III offered support; medical experts warn a hamstring could sideline Daniels for multiple games, which would seriously imperil Washington’s season given a difficult upcoming stretch.
