Jayden Daniels Suffers Gruesome Arm Injury in Commanders’ Loss
It was a tough and emotional night for Washington Commanders fans, as quarterback Jayden Daniels went down with what appeared to be a serious arm injury during their 38–14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter, and the sight left both players and fans in shock.
Daniels, the young star who had quickly become the face of the Commanders franchise, was trying to make a play inside the red zone when disaster struck. He scrambled to his right, trying to escape pressure, but as he was tackled, he landed awkwardly on his non-throwing arm. Immediately, it was clear something was wrong. Daniels clutched his left elbow in visible pain as medical staff rushed to the field. Within moments, his arm was placed in an air cast, and he was escorted off for further evaluation.
It’s a devastating blow, especially for a player who’s already battled injuries this season. Earlier in the year, Daniels missed a couple of games with a hamstring issue, and he’d also sat out last week due to another knock. For a second-year quarterback who came into this season with so much promise, the setbacks have been frustrating.

Just last year, Daniels was one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in football. He threw for over 3,500 yards and 25 touchdowns, earning himself a Pro Bowl selection and the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award. This season, despite limited appearances, he’d managed to throw for over 1,000 yards with eight touchdowns and just one interception — a sign that his upward trajectory was continuing. But now, with this latest injury, that momentum may have come to a halt.
The Commanders’ struggles this season have been compounded by injuries across the roster. Key wide receivers, defensive linemen, and now their franchise quarterback have all missed time, leaving the team unable to find consistency. Sunday’s game only highlighted how much the team is struggling to recapture last season’s magic, when they reached the NFC Championship Game.
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed after the game that Daniels had suffered a left elbow injury but didn’t offer further details, saying more information would come after additional tests. Still, the mood around the stadium made it clear — this looked serious.
For Washington, this may mark a turning point in what’s quickly becoming a lost season. The Commanders now sit at 3–6, with upcoming games against the Detroit Lions and the Miami Dolphins — both formidable opponents. Without Daniels leading the offense, those games will be even more challenging.
As Daniels heads for medical evaluation, fans and teammates alike are holding their breath, hoping the injury isn’t as bad as it looked. For now, the only thing certain is that the Commanders’ season — and perhaps their immediate future — has taken a significant hit.
