JAYDEN DANIELS’ ELBOW CHANGES THE PLAN: Commanders Must Think Long Term

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated the same left elbow again against the Dallas Cowboys. The initial X-ray showed no fracture, with more imaging still to come, but Washington’s priority can’t simply be getting Daniels back as quickly as possible. The Commanders have to determine what gives their franchise quarterback the best chance at long-term stability, while Marcus Mariota’s performance gives them breathing room to be patient.
