Jayden Daniels Suffers Gruesome Elbow Injury During ‘Sunday Night Football’

Washington Commanders star Jayden Daniels went down with a gut-wrenching elbow injury during “Sunday Night Football” … an ailment that will keep him sidelined indefinitely.

The moment went down with just under eight minutes left in the home loss to the Seattle Seahawks … with the Commanders down by 31 points.

Washington was positioned just a few yards from the end zone as Daniels faked a handoff and scrambled … but when Seattle linebacker Drake Thomas went for the sack, the quarterback’s arm bent in the wrong direction.

Players and fans in attendance were clearly shocked by what happened … and Daniels was definitely feeling pain.

A cart was brought out on the field … but the second-year signal-caller ultimately elected to walk off on his own accord in an air cast.

According to reports, Daniels is believed to have a dislocated left elbow … although it’s unclear if his season is over.

After the game, Commanders coach Dan Quinn was asked why Daniels — who has dealt with two other injuries this season alone — was still in the game … and he explained the play wasn’t drawn up that way.

“You don’t want to think that way where an injury could take place,” Quinn told reporters. “It wasn’t a designed read or play to that spot. If we run it 50 times, it’s either a handoff or throw 50 times.”

“So, yeah, it’s a bummer, man.”

Regardless, the decision to keep him on the field during a blowout is getting scrutinized on social media.
