Commanders QB Jayden Daniels dislocates his left elbow for the second time in less than a year | National Sports

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow again, less than a year after the previous injury that sidelined the Washington Commanders quarterback for most of the second half of last season.

Coach Dan Quinn said imaging showed the dislocation but no fracture for Daniels, who was taken off the field on a cart at the end of the first half of the Commanders’ 37-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The quarterback was set to fly home with the team and undergo more testing Monday, Quinn said.
