US EditionCommanders shutting down Jayden Daniels for rest of 2025
- On Monday, Washington announced it will sit Jayden Daniels for the final three games, starting with Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, after Daniels was not medically cleared, Quinn said the decision is `part medical and part team`.
- After earlier injuries, Daniels had a left elbow dislocation in Week 9 loss vs. Seattle Seahawks and re-aggravated it in Week 14 vs. Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 7 chasing Andrew Van Ginkel.
- Performance metrics show that Jayden Daniels appeared in only seven games, missing time due to a sprained left knee, right hamstring, and dislocated left elbow, and his passer rating dropped from 100.1 to 88.1.
- With the team eliminated at 4-10, Marcus Mariota will continue to start and finish the season at quarterback while coaches say the pause allows Daniels time to recover and learn.
- As a rookie, Daniels had 37 total touchdowns and 5,416 total yards, and getting Jayden Daniels fully healthy for next season is a top priority for the Washington Commanders.
