Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a left elbow injury on the final play of the first half Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
With three seconds left, the Commanders decided to go for a touchdown instead of kicking a field goal. Daniels was stepped on by left guard Chris Paul as he moved in the pocket. He stumbled backward and reached for the turf with his left arm to brace his fall. The same elbow was injured last season when Daniels suffered a dislocation against the Seattle Seahawks.
The injury appeared to involve a dislocated left elbow, according to medical analysts who reviewed the incident.
Medical opinions shared after Sunday’s injury suggested that the recurring nature of the problem could lead the Commanders to consider surgery. However, the team’s official diagnosis and treatment plan will determine the next steps. However, this was always a concern for secondary occurrence. I imagine they’ll recommend surgery now to tighten ligaments & ensure NO future recurrence. Frustrating.”
Analyst Jeff Mueller wrote, “A lot of people said Jayden Daniels shouldn’t get surgery last season since it’s his non-throwing side.
