Jayden Daniels injured during Commanders' game against Cowboys in Dallas

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels left the game against the Dallas Cowboys with an apparent elbow injury during the second half on September 20, 2026. Daniels sustained the injury when he stumbled and attempted to brace himself, leading to a dislocation of his left elbow, the same elbow he injured the previous season. Following the incident, several offensive linemen received criticism from fans for their apparent lack of concern for Daniels. While no fracture was found in initial X-rays, further tests are pending to assess any ligament damage. The Commanders lost the game 37-20 and now find themselves 0-2 this season.
