🔗 Share this article Commanders Coach Accepts Blame for Leaving Daniels in Game Prior to Serious Injury Washington Commanders leader Dan Quinn has stated he shares some the fault for a major injury to the squad’s quarterback, Daniels. Particulars of the Injury and Situation Jayden Daniels, who enjoyed among the best rookie campaigns of all time last season, sustained a dislocated elbow joint in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Although Daniels throws with his right arm, the issue has placed his campaign uncertain. The condition was significant enough that the TV coverage did not show replays and several athletes turned away as Daniels was treated by team doctors. Backlash and Coach’s Response Coach Quinn came under criticism as many believed Daniels ought not to have been on the field in the first place. The incident happened in the final period with the Washington behind 38-7, making a recovery improbable. It is common in these circumstances for clubs to put in their backup quarterback to avoid injuries to their starter. “I get that. I’ve been reflecting about it nonstop, too, and, wow, I erred,” he remarked of his choice to keep Jayden in the game. “This is 100% my fault.” Fallout and Team Outlook Mariota will be the Commanders’ starting quarterback going forward, but he will lead a roster in disarray. Following reaching the NFC championship game the prior year thanks to the rookie’s excellence, the franchise have faced difficulties this season. They also saw injuries to defensive back Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on game day, and have a host of other key players on injured reserve. The Commanders are three wins and six losses so far, and it would take a massive reversal for the club to make the playoffs.
