ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered no ligament injury in his dislocated left elbow and will not be positioned on injured reserve, a number of sources informed ESPN.
Daniels' damage is not going to require surgical procedure. He'll be re-evaluated throughout Washington's bye week following its Week 11 matchup vs. Miami in Madrid.
Daniels suffered the damage in Sunday's 38-14 loss to Seattle when his left arm bent backwards on the finish of a sack with 7 minutes, 39 seconds left within the sport.
Had the damage been as dangerous as feared, he doubtless would have been positioned on injured reserve earlier within the week, however the Commanders needed him to bear extra assessments to verify preliminary prognosis on the extent of the damage. An X-ray shortly after the damage revealed no fracture.
It is unsure what this implies for Daniels' standing the remainder of the season. Commanders coach Dan Quinn declined to reply a hypothetical earlier within the week about if Daniels might return this season as soon as wholesome.
“We've not mentioned any of that,” Quinn mentioned Monday.
Washington (3-6) has misplaced 4 consecutive video games coming into Sunday's sport vs. Detroit (5-4). Marcus Mariota will begin rather than Daniels.
Three of their high 5 receivers from the start of the season are sidelined: Terry McLaurin (quad), Noah Brown (groin; on injured reserve) and Luke McCaffrey (fractured collarbone; on injured reserve).
Daniels had missed three video games already this season, two due to a sprained left knee and one other after hurting his proper hamstring.
Daniels has thrown for 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions this season. He additionally has rushed for 262 yards and two scores.
