Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will not be placed on injured reserve, sources confirmed to @RapSheet and me. After imaging Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Doctors evaluated imaging on the dislocated left elbow this week. Washington consulted multiple specialists on the injury.

Why it matters: Washington sits 0-2 entering a home date with Seattle. Keeping Daniels off reserve preserves eligibility to return without a mandatory absence.

What to watch: Practice designations will signal any timeline beyond Sunday.
