Jayden Daniels is facing another worrying chapter in his young NFL career after suffering an elbow injury against the Dallas Cowboys on September 20, 2026. Daniels’ latest injury occurred at the end of the first half against Dallas on September 20. The Washington Commanders quarterback was carted off the field after hurting the same left elbow that sidelined him twice last season. With his injury history growing, Daniels’ latest setback raises fresh questions about his recovery and the team’s approach to his return. The elbow dislocation forced Daniels out of the game, with Marcus Mariota stepping in at quarterback. Initial reports offered some hope, as the injury appeared to involve limited damage. Since it affected his left arm rather than his throwing arm, Daniels had a chance to return sooner. The quarterback stumbled backward after being stepped on and extended his left arm to brace his fall.
