🔗 Share this article Commanders Coach Takes Responsibility for Leaving Daniels in Contest Prior to Significant Harm Washington Commanders leader Dan Quinn has admitted he shares some the fault for a major ailment to the squad’s signal-caller, Daniels. Particulars of the Injury and Context Daniels, who enjoyed among the best rookie campaigns in history last season, sustained a dislocated left elbow in the Sunday defeat to the Seahawks. Even though the quarterback throws with his right arm, the issue has left his season in doubt. The injury was significant enough that the television broadcast did not show replays and several players looked away as he was attended to by team doctors. Criticism and Leader’s Reaction Coach Quinn came under criticism as many felt Daniels should not have been on the field in the first place. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter with the Washington behind 38-7, making a comeback unlikely. It is typical in these situations for teams to put in their backup quarterback to avoid harm to their first-string player. “I get that. I’ve been thinking about it nonstop, too, and, wow, I erred,” he remarked of his choice to keep Jayden in the game. “That is 100% on me.” Aftermath and Squad Prospects Marcus Mariota will be the team’s primary QB from now on, but he will lead a roster in turmoil. After reaching the NFC championship game the prior year behind Daniels’s excellence, the team have struggled currently. They also lost cornerback Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and pass-catcher Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on Sunday, and have a number of other starters on injured reserve. The Commanders are 3-6 so far, and it would take a massive reversal for the team to make the postseason.
