Springfield Holyoke, MA, September 21, 2026 —
Washington Commanders starting quarterback Jayden Daniels has suffered a dislocated left elbow, a significant injury that occurred during the second quarter of the team’s recent game against the Dallas Cowboys. The severity of the injury means Daniels is expected to miss a substantial period of time.
ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported the news, indicating that surgery is being considered as a potential treatment option for the injury. The exact timeline for Daniels’ return to play remains undetermined, but the dislocated elbow suggests a recovery process that will require him to be sidelined.
With Daniels out, veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota is slated to take over as the team’s starting signal-caller. Mariota’s experience is expected to provide a stabilizing presence for the Commanders’ offense during Daniels’ absence. The team has not yet provided further details regarding the specifics of Daniels’ injury or his treatment plan beyond the initial reports.
