Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Exits Panthers Game with Rib Injury, Ruled Out Early
In a tough moment for Washington Commanders fans, quarterback Jayden Daniels left Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers early due to a rib injury. It all unfolded in the first quarter when Daniels took some hard hits while running the ball on the Commanders' opening drive, which set up a field goal. The defense had already put Washington up 7-0 with a pick-six, and Daniels’ effort extended the lead to 10-0. However, it was clear something was wrong when Daniels, visibly in pain, grabbed at his ribs while getting up after a tackle.
Daniels initially stayed on the sidelines and tried to test his arm by throwing, but the pain was too much. He soon headed to the locker room, throwing his helmet to the ground in frustration. His day was over shortly after, as the Commanders officially ruled him out of the game just after halftime. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his condition, Daniels' mother offered a promising update on social media, assuring fans that he was "fine." He was later seen on the sidelines in street clothes, waving to the crowd, confirming that his return was not in the cards for that afternoon.
