Jayden Daniels injury update: Commanders QB goes into medical tent in first game back

by: Nick Geddes 5 hours ago NickGeddesNews

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels went into the blue medical tent during the third quarter of Sunday’s Week 14 road game against the Minnesota Vikings. Daniels is questionable to return with a left elbow injury. Marcus Mariota is under center for Washington.

Daniels was making his return from a dislocated left elbow. He sustained the injury in early November against the Seattle Seahawks. Daniels practiced in full this week, clearing the way for him to return.

Daniels, wearing a sleeve on his left arm, injured that same arm after throwing an interception to Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel . As Van Ginkel was running back the other way, Daniels got blocked to the ground by a Minnesota defender. He landed directly on his left elbow and was in immediate pain.

Andrew Van Ginkel bats it in the air and picks off Jayden Daniels!
