Overview
- Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Daniels will not play again this year after re-aggravating his dislocated left elbow in Week 14 following the original Week 9 injury.
- Daniels remains on the active roster at his request and was not placed on injured reserve, as he has not been cleared for contact but will continue to practice.
- Marcus Mariota will start Washington’s remaining games, including two against Philadelphia, a shift that could influence the NFC East race.
- At 4-10 and already out of playoff contention, Washington framed the move as protecting its franchise quarterback’s long-term health.
- Calling his injuries “freak accidents,” Daniels said he is frustrated by the season and finished with 1,262 passing yards, eight touchdowns, three interceptions, and 278 rushing yards with two scores in seven games.
