Commanders QB Jayden Daniels carted off with elbow injury in Dallas

Summary

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was carted off the field due to an elbow injury sustained during the final play of the first half against the Dallas Cowboys. With the Commanders trailing 17-10, Daniels tripped while attempting to make a play inside the five-yard line. He appeared to injure his left elbow as he braced himself for the fall. The injury resembles a previous elbow dislocation that sidelined him for most of the prior season. An aircast was placed on his arm as he was taken off the field. The Commanders are currently down 10 at halftime and continue without their starting quarterback.
