commanders get promising update on jayden daniels return timeline msn

Washington Commadners quarterback Jayden Daniels has had a disappointing second season, as he has dealt with a variety of injuries. Most recently, Daniels suffered a left elbow injury on "Sunday Night Football" that knocked him out indefinitely. While the Commanders are moving forward with Marcus Mariota as their starting quarterback, they hope that Daniels could return before the end of the year. The Commanders didn't place Daniels on injured reserve, so the quarterback is eligible to return whenever he is healthy. While it initially appeared that Daniels' injury could keep him sidelined for the rest of the year, Daniels ended up not needing surgery, which means he should be able to return this year. Daniels will miss this week's game against the Miami Dolphins, then Washington will go on its bye week.

After the Commanders return, Daniels could be at least back to practice ahead of Washington's final six games of the season. NFL HQ: Live NFL scores | Updated NFL standings | Full NFL schedule Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow late in Sunday’s 38-14 blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, adding another brutal blow to a roster already derailed by injuries. The second-year QB, who led Washington to last year’s NFC Championship Game, left with his arm in a cast and did not return. Here’s what we know about Daniels’ injury and possible recovery timeline. The Commanders, who are 3-6 in the NFC East and well outside postseason contention, saw their season go from bad to worse on Sunday night in Seattle.

With 7:39 remaining in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss to the Seahawks, quarterback Daniels was sacked and stayed down clutching his arm. The injury occurred on a scramble attempt after Daniels kept the ball instead of handing off to Chris Rodriguez Jr. He tried to roll out to his right but was taken down by linebacker Drake Thomas, landing awkwardly and suffering a dislocated elbow on the play. The medical staff quickly attended to him before leaving the field. Meanwhile, head coach Dan Quinn faced heavy criticism for his decision to keep Daniels in the game with Washington trailing by 31 points late in the fourth quarter. The Marcus Mariota experience will last at least one more week as the Washington Commanders host the Detroit Lions on Nov.

9. Second-year Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is sidelined with an elbow injury suffered late in a Week 9 "Sunday Night Football" blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks. While the injury brought plenty of attention to head coach Dan Quinn's decision-making, it appears unlikely to shelve Daniels for long. Daniels' elbow injury is not as serious as anticipated and he will not be placed on injured reserve (IR), per multiple reports. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said examinations showed there is no ligament damage to Daniels' elbow and he won't need surgery. Daniels reportedly will be re-evaluated during the Commanders' bye in Week 12 following their international game against the Miami Dolphins.

Placing Daniels on IR would have required he miss at least four weeks. Once cleared from IR, he'd then have a window of time to return to the field. Jayden Daniels can return this season, but the Commanders’ year may be over by the time he’s ready. Washington’s quarterback avoided ligament damage and will not need surgery after suffering a dislocated left elbow Sunday against Seattle, per ESPN, but he will not return until Week 13 at the earliest. The plan is for him to reportedly be reevaluated during the team’s Week 12 bye, when the Commanders return from their week off to host the Broncos on Nov. 30

However, with Washington sitting at 3-6 and a game on tap against the Lions this week, Washington may have to decide whether it’s prudent to have him return in a lost season. “We haven’t discussed any of that,” Washington coach Dan Quinn said Monday, according to ESPN. When the Washington Commanders started the season, they didn’t anticipate piling up injuries so quickly, especially to one of their key players, second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels has been sidelined for the past two games after suffering a knee sprain in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. In his absence, Commanders veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota led the team, splitting those games. First, a 41-21 win against the Las Vegas Raiders and then a 34-27 loss against the Atlanta Falcons.

But Daniels’ return might be coming soon. As the Commanders prepare to play the Los Angeles Chargers, optimism is growing that Daniels could return as the quarterback. “I guess we’ll have to see on Sunday,” Daniels said when asked about his status. READ MORE: Commanders starter returns to practice in boost for Jayden Daniels The Washington Commanders hosted the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9's edition of "Sunday Night Football." It was a game that Seattle dominated, with the Seahawks taking a 31-7 lead into halftime. While Seattle's lead, offensive firepower and defensive presence were the story early, that all changed in the fourth quarter.

Even though the Commanders were down 38-7 at the time, Washington's starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels, was still in the game. He was trying to lead a scoring drive to salvage some pride when he was slung down during a sack and landed awkwardly. His arm bent in a direction it shouldn't have, and he was in immense pain. Naturally, the nature of Daniels' injury had some fearing the worse. But after MRI scans, Daniels looks to have avoided a lengthy absence. In fact, there is even hope he could return to action before the end of the season.

Here's a look at how long Daniels could be sidelined for Washington with his injury. Daniels was playing in the fourth quarter of what was looking like a blowout loss to the Seahawks. The Washington quarterback had his offense in the red zone in a goal-to-go situation. Daniels went to scramble, but got slung down to the ground. His arm got trapped on the ground and bent awkwardly in a gruesome injury.

Landover Northwest Stadium Maryland USA, EDITORIAL USE ONLY PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xAmberxSearlsx 20251102_ams_si2_127 During the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with the Commanders trailing 38-7 and just over 7:39 remaining, Jayden Daniels suffered a gruesome dislocated left elbow. On Monday, Daniels underwent an MRI to assess the full extent of the damage, with nobody sure how long the injury would last. The initial X-rays came back negative for fractures, which was positive news.

The subsequent MRI provided even more encouraging results with no ligament damage. But today, Jeff Mueller, a physical therapist and DPT, tweeted his take, acknowledging a potential timeline. “I’m very skeptical that there was no ligament damage in Jayden Daniels elbow,” Mueller said. “BUT if true, I wouldn’t be shocked if he was placed on IR and then had a chance to return Week 15. So fantasy teams could wind up getting Daniels and Joe Burrow back for fantasy playoffs.” When is Jayden Daniels coming back?

Latest injury update on Washington Commanders QB originally appeared on The Sporting News The Washington Commanders will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels for the Week 3 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Daniels sustained a knee sprain in the Week 2 game against the Green Bay Packers and did not practice at all this week before being ruled out on Friday. In his stead, the Commanders will start backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, giving the veteran his first start since 2022. Mariota has gotten into six games the past two seasons but didn't start in any of them. So, when can we expect Daniels to return?

Here's what we know.
