Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Reportedly Dislocated Elbow, X-Rays Negative

The Washington Commanders are still gathering details about the left elbow injury Jayden Daniels suffered in the fourth quarter of their 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. 

The star quarterback suffered a dislocated elbow, ESPN reported Monday. X-rays on Daniels' elbow came back negative, although he'll undergo an MRI on Monday, The Athletic reported. While the gruesome-looking injury will sideline Daniels for a bit, it's unclear how long he'll be out. There's a chance he could return this season, per ESPN.

Daniels' injury occurred after he was sacked on second-and-goal. He was brought down after a short scramble and tried to brace himself with his left arm, which was brutally bent backward at the elbow.

Commanders trainers immediately placed Daniels' arm in an air cast to immobilize it as multiple teammates surrounded him and took a knee. Daniels was embraced by linebacker Bobby Wagner, one of his closest friends on the team, before walking off with trainers to the locker room.

After the game, head coach Dan Quinn had few details to share about the injury, clarifying that it was to Daniels' left elbow. Quinn said that in "hindsight," not having Daniels in the game would have made sense.

At the time of the run, the Commanders were down 38-7 with 7:39 left in the fourth quarter. Daniels left the game 16-of-22 for 153 yards and one interception.

Daniels has already missed three games this season between a hamstring injury and sprained left knee. He returned on Sunday night after a one-game absence that saw him miss Washington's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

Next, the Commanders host the Detroit Lions in "America's Game of the Week" (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app).
