Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Suffers Serious Non-Throwing Arm Injury vs Seahawks

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a severe injury to his non-throwing arm late in the fourth quarter against the Seattle Seahawks, forcing him to leave the game. Daniels, who had recently returned from a hamstring injury and had missed earlier games due to knee issues, was tackled near the Seattle goal line when his arm bent unnaturally, prompting immediate medical attention. Despite Daniels' absence, Seattle dominated the game, with Sam Darnold throwing four touchdown passes before his first incompletion, leading to a 38-14 rout of Washington. Daniels' injury adds to a challenging 2025 season for the second-year quarterback, who had high expectations following a standout rookie year that included an NFC Championship appearance. Marcus Mariota replaced Daniels during the game and is expected to continue as the team's quarterback while Daniels recovers. The Commanders, currently struggling with a 3-6 record, face an uphill battle to return to playoff contention amid Daniels' ongoing injury woes.
