Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered what looked to be a significant injury at the end of the first half of Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
He was carted off the field in clear pain with a left elbow injury. The Commanders ruled him out with an elbow injury shortly after. Backup Marcus Mariota took over in the second half.

After the 37-20 loss to Dallas, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed the elbow dislocation but said there was no fracture. Daniels is set to fly home from Dallas with the Commanders. He’ll have more imaging done on the elbow on Monday.
Daniels also dislocated his left elbow last season, which eventually cut his 2025 campaign short.
Daniels slipped taking the final snap of the first half — it looked like guard Chris Paul stepped on Daniels foot right after the snap — and he stuck out his arm to brace himself. That’s when the injury occurred.
His elbow looked out of place after watching the replay.
