"It's over. All the debates, all the confusion, and all the hearsay about what the future holds for quarterback Jayden Daniels over the final three games have been put to rest. And Washington Commanders fans will not see their franchise player under center again until 2026. Daniels reaggravated an elbow injury during his first game back against the Minnesota Vikings. He was reportedly cleared to come back, but head coach Dan Quinn opted against it."
"Commanders finally make the right call by shutting down Jayden Daniels. Now, the Commanders have taken things one step further. According to Ian Rapoport from the NFL Network, those in power have admitted defeat, shutting Daniels down for their three remaining regular-season engagements. Marcus Mariota will see things through this season, giving him another audition to secure a starting spot elsewhere in 2026."
Jayden Daniels has been shut down for the final three regular-season games and will not play again this season or until 2026. Daniels reaggravated a previous elbow injury during his first game back against the Minnesota Vikings and was later not cleared for contact, ruling him out of Week 15 at the Giants. The Commanders' medical staff and coaching staff prioritized long-term health over short-term gains, citing injury risk and a short upcoming schedule. Marcus Mariota will start the remaining games and will have additional opportunity to audition for a future starting job. Daniels endured a difficult sophomore year with multiple injuries, including a knee sprain, hamstring strain, and dislocated elbow.
