Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow for the second time in less than 11 months during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, coach Dan Quinn confirmed after the game. X-rays showed no fracture, NFL.com reported, and Daniels had more imaging on Monday. The team has not released any diagnosis beyond the dislocation.
The key question is no longer whether the joint came out of place. It is what happened to the ligaments that hold it together. That answer will likely help determine whether Daniels faces weeks of rehabilitation or a longer recovery, and it is the same question many weekend athletes, parents, and older adults face after a hard fall onto an outstretched arm.
