Even though Daniels throws with his dominant arm, the injury has left his season uncertain. The condition was serious enough that the TV coverage did not show replays and multiple athletes turned away as he was attended to by medical staff.

Criticism and Coach’s Reaction

Coach Quinn came under scrutiny as numerous felt the rookie ought not to have been on the playing surface in the first place. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter with the Commanders behind 38-7, making a recovery improbable. It is common in these circumstances for teams to insert their backup quarterback to prevent harm to their starter.

“I get that. I’ve been thinking about it nonstop, too, and, wow, I missed it,” he said of his decision to keep Jayden in the match. “That is 100% my fault.”

They also lost defensive back Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and pass-catcher McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on game day, and have a host of other starters on the injury list. The Commanders are 3-6 on the season, and it would require a huge reversal for the team to reach the postseason.
