Per HC Dan Quinn, QB Jayden Daniels will not be placed on IR and is considered week-to-week Via @Commanders on X

What happened: Head coach Dan Quinn announced quarterback Jayden Daniels will not be placed on injured reserve and is considered week-to-week. The rookie avoided surgery after specialists reviewed imaging of his dislocated left elbow.

Why it matters: Bypassing injured reserve means the quarterback avoids a mandatory four-game absence. Marcus Mariota starts this Sunday against Seattle as the recovery process begins.

What to watch: Medical staff will evaluate his elbow next week to determine a potential return timeline.
