🔗 Share this article Commanders Coach Accepts Responsibility for Keeping Daniels in Game Prior to Serious Injury The Commanders leader Dan Quinn has stated he bears some the fault for a major ailment to the squad’s signal-caller, Jayden Daniels. Details of the Harm and Context Jayden Daniels, who had one of the greatest first-year performances in history last season, sustained a dislocated left elbow in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks. Although the quarterback passes with his dominant arm, the issue has placed his season in doubt. The condition was serious enough that the TV coverage avoided showing repeats and several athletes looked away as he was attended to by medical staff. Backlash and Coach’s Reaction Quinn came under criticism as many felt Daniels should not have been on the playing surface to begin with. The injury happened in the final period with the Washington behind 38-7, making a comeback improbable. It is typical in these situations for teams to insert their reserve QB to avoid harm to their first-string player. “I get that. I’ve been thinking about it constantly, too, and, man, I missed it,” Quinn remarked of his choice to keep Jayden in the match. “This is 100% my fault.” Aftermath and Team Prospects Marcus Mariota will be the team’s starting quarterback going forward, but he will lead a roster in disarray. Following reaching the NFC championship game last season behind Daniels’s excellence, the franchise have faced difficulties this season. They also saw injuries to defensive back Marshon Lattimore (ACL tear) and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on Sunday, and have a number of other key players on injured reserve. The Commanders are three wins and six losses so far, and it would take a huge turnaround for the club to reach the postseason.
