Commanders HC Dan Quinn said QB Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow. Daniels will undergo additional testing Monday

What happened: Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed the quarterback's injury status following the defeat. Daniels will undergo additional medical testing on Monday to determine the extent of the joint damage.

Why it matters: The setback threatens to sideline the starting quarterback as the Washington offense searches for stability. It creates an immediate void shortly after a recent huddle fix put pressure on Jayden Daniels to guide the unit.

What to watch: Medical staff will establish a definitive recovery timeline once the upcoming scan results are evaluated.
