At the end of a 46-yard rush on his first touch of the day, Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a rib injury as two Carolina Panthers defenders fell on him. He didn’t leave the game immediately, though the pain proved too much as he left for the injury tent.
After coming out of the injury tent, Daniels was taken back to the locker room for x-rays. While his mother claimed “he’s fine” on social media, the extent of his injury has yet to be made public
Daniels completed his two passes for six yards, adding 50 rushing yards on three carries to spark the Commanders to begin the game, as Washington held a 27-0 halftime lead. While Daniels was initially labeled as questionable, there is no sensible reason to have the LSU product return to the game.
Just after halftime, the Commanders listed Daniels as out for the rest of the game.
