Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Suffers Hamstring Injury in Loss to Cowboys

News summary

The Washington Commanders dropped a 44-22 Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and suffered a major setback when QB Jayden Daniels exited early in the third quarter with a right hamstring injury after a sack and fumble by Shemar James. Daniels limped to the sideline, was evaluated in the medical tent, did not return, and is expected to undergo further testing (including an MRI) back in Washington after already missing two games this season with a sprained left knee and wearing a brace. Backup Marcus Mariota relieved Daniels but had limited success (including an interception returned for a touchdown) as the game unraveled while Washington also played without top receivers Deebo Samuel, Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown. Minority owner Magic Johnson posted a supportive message praying Daniels won’t be out long, and the team now heads into a tough Week 8 Monday Night showdown at Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs. Separately, Minnesota’s utility player C.J. Ham underwent medical evaluation for a left-hand injury after the Vikings’ loss to the Eagles; Ham — used primarily as a blocker — logged his first touch of the season with one five-yard reception.
