Imagn Images<\/span><\/p>\n LANDOVER, Md. — Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels\u00a0suffered a serious left elbow injury with less than 8 minutes remaining in Washington’s Week 9 “Sunday Night Football” game at home against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks led 38-1 at the time and ultimately prevailed 38-14, having dominated from the onset of the game.<\/p>\n Daniels was scrambling to the right sideline when Seahawks linebacker Drake Thomas tackled him. As Daniels rolled over, he tried to use his non-throwing arm to steady himself; however, upon landing on the grass, his left elbow appeared to bend inwards at an unnatural angle.<\/p>\n Commanders medical staffers rushed onto the field, bracing Daniels’ left elbow and arm before the franchise’s star signal caller walked off the field being steadied as he entered the tunnel.<\/p>\n It has been a difficult sophomore season for Daniels, who missed two games with an ankle injury incurred in Week 2 against the Packers and sat out of Washington’s Week 8 game with a hamstring injury suffered against the Cowboys\u00a0in his prior game.<\/p>\n The Commanders have been badly hampered by injuries all season. After a magical 12-5 campaign in 2024 that included Daniels winning Offensive Rookie of the Year, Washington ended Sunday night 3-6. Daniels was 16 of 22 for 153 yards with an interception; he also carried 10 times for 51 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n Marcus Mariota, who started all three games Daniels previously missed this season, replaced Daniels and completed a touchdown drive. The Commanders are 1-2 with Mariotta starting this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Imagn Images LANDOVER, Md. — Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels\u00a0suffered a serious left elbow injury with less than 8 minutes remaining in Washington’s Week 9 “Sunday Night Football” game at home against the Seattle Seahawks.
