The Commanders could face another tough stretch of the 2025 season without star quarterback Jayden Daniels after he suffered a right hamstring injury in Sunday's blowout loss to the Cowboys. Daniels's latest injury generated lots of buzz on social media as some fans compared the young quarterback's career trajectory to that of Robert Griffin III, who played for Washington for three seasons from 2012 to '14.
Griffin's career with Washington was infamously derailed by injuries—he suffered a serious knee injury during the playoffs during his rookie season (tearing his ACL, LCL and meniscus) and then a dislocated left ankle in his final campaign in Washington—and many fans were worried Daniels stumble down that same path.
