No surgery on the table as the Commanders talk about how to get Jayden Daniels
back on the field
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) --- The Commanders have not discussed putting Jayden Daniels
on injured reserve with the quarterback's return from a dislocated left elbow
apparently a possibility within the next month, Washington general manager Adam
Peters said Friday.
"As of right now, surgery is not on the table, and we haven't discussed IR,"
Peters said on 106.7 The Fan. "So it's just a matter of how we're going to get
him back on the field. That's still to be determined."
Peters said Daniels returned late Thursday night and was meeting with the
Commanders on Friday. Team officials have talked with medical officials around
the country, and Peters called it a medical decision that Washington is working
through.
Being placed on injured reserve would mean Daniels would miss a minimum of four
games.
Daniels was hurt during Sunday's loss at Dallas on a broken play at the end of
the first half. He took a snap under center, and left guard Chris Paul stepped
on Daniels' foot as he backed away from the line. Daniels used his non-throwing
arm to brace his fall, which bent awkwardly under the pressure.
A similar thing happened last November, when Daniels used his left arm to brace
himself and dislocated his elbow against Seattle. He returned just over a month
later, only to aggravate the problem and miss the rest of the season.
Marcus Mariota is set to start Sunday's home opener against Seattle.
