Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Suffers Severe Elbow Injury Amid Blowout Loss

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a severe left elbow dislocation during a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, an injury expected to sideline him indefinitely and possibly end his season. Despite trailing by over 30 points with just over seven minutes left, Daniels remained in the game when he was sacked and landed awkwardly on his left arm, leading to widespread criticism of Coach Dan Quinn and the team's decision to keep him on the field during garbage time. Daniels, who has had an injury-prone season including previous knee and hamstring strains, was scheduled for an MRI to assess the injury's full extent, with experts hopeful it might not require surgery since it's on his non-throwing arm. Former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III publicly questioned why Daniels was still playing under such circumstances, reflecting fan frustration over the management of the injury. The incident also drew emotional responses on the field, with players from both teams kneeling in apparent prayer as Daniels was treated and his arm placed in an air cast. Additionally, social media buzzed about Daniels' personal life, particularly his connection to USC basketball star JuJu Watkins, highlighted by a wristband gesture amid the injury news.
