🔗 Share this article Washington Head Coach Takes Blame for Keeping Daniels in Contest Before Significant Injury Washington Commanders leader Dan Quinn has stated he bears some the blame for a serious injury to the team’s quarterback, Daniels. Particulars of the Injury and Context Jayden Daniels, who had one of the greatest first-year performances of all time the previous year, sustained a dislocated left elbow in the Sunday defeat to the Seahawks. Even though the quarterback passes with his right arm, the injury has placed his campaign in doubt. The condition was serious enough that the TV coverage did not show replays and several athletes turned away as Daniels was attended to by team doctors. Backlash and Leader’s Reaction Quinn faced scrutiny as many believed Daniels ought not to have been on the playing surface in the first place. The incident happened in the fourth quarter with the Commanders behind 38-7, rendering a recovery unlikely. It is typical in such circumstances for teams to insert their backup quarterback to avoid injuries to their first-string player. “I get that. I’ve been reflecting about it constantly, too, and, man, I missed it,” Quinn remarked of his decision to leave Daniels in the game. “This is 100% my fault.” Aftermath and Squad Prospects Mariota will be the team’s primary QB from now on, but he will guide a roster in disarray. Following making the NFC championship game the prior year behind the rookie’s brilliance, the team have faced difficulties currently. They also saw injuries to cornerback Lattimore (torn ACL) and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on Sunday, and have a host of other key players on the injury list. The Commanders are 3-6 on the season, and it would require a huge reversal for the team to make the playoffs.
