Jayden Daniels made a stunning return to the lineup in Week 14 of the 2025 NFL season, just weeks after suffering a gruesome dislocated elbow in a Washington Commanders’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Jayden Daniels exits Commanders-Vikings after hard hit
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is questionable to return after injuring his left elbow against the Vikings
Mark Schofield is a former college quarterback and attorney covering the NFL and F1.
But his return did not last long.
After throwing an interception early in the third quarter against the Minnesota Vikings, Daniels was blasted on a hard block following the turnover. The Washington quarterback remained on the turf at U.S. Bank Stadium for an extended period of time, before he went to the sideline.
Daniels was then spotted heading into the blue medical tent, as backup quarterback Marcus Mariota began to warm up.
You can see the hit here:
When the Commanders offense took the field for Washington’s next possession, Daniels remained in the blue medical tent. Mariota entered the game for the Commanders, and promptly threw and interception on his first drive running the Washington offense.
Washington listed Daniels as questionable to return with a left elbow injury. Daniels exited the blue medical tent with a towel over his head, but did not look for his helmet, nor did he immediately return to the game.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
