Follow usWashington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels sustained no ligament damage in his dislocated left elbow and will not be put on injured reserve.
Jayden’s problem will not require a procedure. The quarterback will be reevaluated during his team’s bye week after its Week 11 game vs. the Dolphins in Madrid.
The Washington quarterback sustained the problem during the weekend’s 38-14 defeat against the Seahawks when his left arm bent backward at the end of a sack in the middle of the 4th quarter.
Had the problem been as bad as feared, Daniels would have been placed on injured reserve, but the organization wanted the QB to go to more tests before deciding if that would be necessary.
It is still unknown if we will see Jayden on the field until the end of the campaign. Washington boss Dan Quinn didn’t reveal if he will use the QB again this campaign if he is healthy.
“It is still too early to know if that would be an option or not,” Quinn told the media.
Rap: Jayden Daniels (elbow) doesn’t need surgery, has no ligament damage.
His MRI, medical opinions revealed “positive news.” He won’t be placed on IR immediately.
