Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Week-to-Week After Elbow Dislocation

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks after dislocating his elbow. The team announced that Daniels will be considered week-to-week and will avoid injured reserve, offering a glimmer of hope for his return later in the season. This news comes as a mixed bag for the Commanders, who are already 0-2 and will rely on veteran Marcus Mariota to start under center.

While the absence of their starting quarterback is a significant blow, the fact that surgery is not required and Daniels is not headed to injured reserve provides some positive outlook. Teammates, like wide receiver Terry McLaurin, have expressed optimism about Daniels' potential return this season. The Commanders' defensive coordinator, Daronte Jones, also faces early challenges in his tenure as the team looks to turn its season around.
