Commanders QB Jayden Daniels avoided surgery on his dislocated left elbow for now, but it still is very much in play for Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will not undergo surgery on his dislocated left elbow at this time. He was ruled week-to-week after avoiding injured reserve. Surgery remains in play for after this season.

Why it matters: Keeping the starting quarterback available preserves Washington's offensive continuity during the regular season. Deferring a potential procedure until after the season sets the timeline for his availability.

What to watch: Watch practice participation and game status for how the elbow responds.
