Dan Quinn said what Commanders fans always suspected about Jayden Daniels

"Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that the Commanders have officially shut Daniels down for the final three games, bringing his campaign to an abrupt halt. He reportedly didn't like it, but the quick turnaround in Week 16 and 17, coupled with the fact that he hasn't been cleared for contact yet, left the staff with one viable option."

"This confirmed what Commanders fans have always suspected. Once Daniels reaggravated an elbow problem during his first game back against the Minnesota Vikings, he was never coming back. Whether it was the medical team, Quinn, or general manager Adam Peters who forced the issue of sitting the LSU product is unclear. Perhaps it was a combination of all three, but this outcome was always more likely than not."

"Part medical and part team. He's still not clear to play. We believe this decision allows him to take advantage of the next few weeks. He wants to practice and will practice."

Jayden Daniels was shut down by the Washington Commanders for the final three games of the season after reaggravating an elbow injury and not receiving clearance for contact. Head coach Dan Quinn said the decision was partly medical and partly team-driven and that Daniels will continue to practice while remaining unable to play. The timing of upcoming games and a quick turnaround in Weeks 16 and 17 contributed to the decision. Daniels attempted to return but reinjured the elbow during his first game back against the Vikings. The organization prioritized recovery and a conservative approach over risking further injury.
