A sigh of relief rings around the Washington Commanders fanbase.
That’s because quarterback Jayden Daniels will not have to undergo surgery and did not suffer ligament damage to his elbow.
Daniels dislocated his left elbow during the fourth quarter of the Commanders’ 38-14 loss on Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. The team will reevaluate the 2024 first round pick after its bye on Week 12, opening a possibility of a return to the field later this season.
“It’s a good deal with no surgery,” Commanders coach Dan Quinn said on Friday. “Obviously that makes a big difference.”
