Jayden Daniels has faced a number of obstacles in his second NFL season. He’s dealt with a knee sprain, a hamstring strain and a dislocated elbow this season, with the last injury being the main reason why he has been shut down for the remainder of the 2025 season. The quarterback wasn’t medically cleared to return, and the Commanders are already eliminated from the playoffs, so they want their starter to recover and come back as healthy as ever next season.
Daniels talked to reporters on Tuesday about Washington’s decision to bench him for the rest of the year. He admitted he is “disappointed” but understands the reasoning why.
