URGENT UPDATE: Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has suffered a serious arm injury during a devastating 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on November 5, 2023, putting his entire 2025 season in jeopardy. The injury occurred as Daniels attempted to mount a comeback with the team trailing 38-7 in the fourth quarter.
Daniels was tackled awkwardly while scrambling near the goal line, landing heavily on his non-throwing shoulder. Eyewitnesses reported a disturbing scene as he writhed in pain, prompting immediate attention from the Commanders’ training staff. He was seen leaving the field in a brace, favoring his left arm but walking under his own power.
This injury is particularly concerning as Daniels has faced multiple setbacks this season, including a right hamstring injury that caused him to miss a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Just last week, he returned to practice, hoping to lead his team to victory against the Seahawks after recovering from prior injuries.
Earlier in the game, Daniels completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 yards, adding 51 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. His performance last season earned him the title of Offensive Rookie of the Year, leading the Commanders to a stellar 12-5 record and nearly securing a Super Bowl appearance. However, injuries have plagued his progress, impacting both his and the team’s performance.
“This injury could significantly alter the trajectory of the Commanders’ season,” stated a team official.
The Commanders are now facing an uncertain future as they evaluate the extent of Daniels’ injury. Fans are anxiously awaiting further updates from the team’s medical staff, which are expected to come in the next few days.
As the NFL season progresses, all eyes will be on the Washington Commanders and how they plan to adapt in the face of this potential setback. Will they seek a replacement quarterback, or will they be able to rally around their core players and support Daniels in his recovery?
