Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels went down with a gruesome elbow injury against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, and NFL fans were quick to point out how his teammates reacted. Many players headed straight for the sideline right after Daniels was hurt, which definitely got people talking.
Quinn Sets the Record Straight on Teammate Reaction
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn wasn’t having any of the social media chatter. He told reporters on Wednesday that the viral videos missed the real story. “It’s just the opposite,” Quinn stated. “These guys were absolutely gutted. When the half is over… I can’t delay the half. They can’t stay on the field. They were gutted. They love this guy.” He clarified that the injury happened just as the first half ended, forcing players off the field. A different moment in the game, and the scene would have looked totally different.
What This Means for the Commanders’ Season
Unfortunately for Washington, Daniels is now looking at missing a significant chunk of time. This injury makes their already tough 0-2 start even harder to overcome. Daniels suffered the same injury last season in Week 9, but he managed to return by Week 14. Until Daniels can get back on the field, Marcus Mariota will be taking over the offense, tasked with keeping the Commanders afloat.
