"Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels won't play the rest of the season, a decision made by the team one week after he aggravated his dislocated left elbow. Coach Dan Quinn said Daniels still hasn't been cleared for contact and was unlikely to play Saturday vs. the Philadelphia Eagles. Washington then has a short week before playing on Christmas Day and Quinn said that wasn't ideal for Daniels' return. But he will continue to practice with the team."
"Daniels had missed six games with multiple injuries, including the dislocated elbow suffered on Nov. 9. He returned to the lineup for a Dec. 7 game at Minnesota, but exited in the third quarter after falling on his elbow -- getting pushed to the ground following an interception. After the game Quinn said Daniels could have returned, but three days later said further tests showed that he had aggravated the injury."
Jayden Daniels will miss the remainder of the season after aggravating a previously dislocated left elbow. He has not been cleared for contact and is unlikely to play against the Philadelphia Eagles. A short week before a Christmas Day game reduces the likelihood of an earlier return. Daniels will continue to practice with the team while sidelined. Marcus Mariota will start Washington's final three games. Daniels played seven games this season and exited each of the last three with an injury, including aggravating his non-throwing elbow at Minnesota. Washington will finish the season with nine projected starters from camp.
