The Commanders held their breath Sunday night when Jayden Daniels went down due to a gruesome elbow injury that all but spells the end of his second NFL season. Daniels got hurt during the meaningless, garbage time minutes of Week 9's blowout loss to the Seahawks, causing fans and pundits alike to ask why Daniels was still playing in the game.
Former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III was among those weighing in on Daniels's injury, having been in a similar situation many years ago. Griffin saw his once-promising career in Washington get derailed by injuries, the most serious of which was an ACL tear in his right knee during a 2013 wild card playoff game in his rookie season.
