UPDATE: Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has suffered a serious arm injury during a devastating 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night, putting his entire 2025 season at risk. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter while Daniels attempted to lead a comeback, culminating in a brutal tackle that left him writhing in pain.
As the Commanders trailed 38-7, Daniels was making a critical scramble near the goal line when he was tackled awkwardly. He landed on his non-throwing shoulder, and immediate concern swept across the field as the team’s training staff rushed to his aid. Although Daniels managed to walk off the field, he was visibly favoring his left arm and was seen in a brace.
This injury marks yet another setback for the second-year star, who has battled injuries throughout the season. Previously, he missed time due to a right hamstring issue and only recently returned to practice ahead of the game against Seattle.
During the game, Daniels completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 passing yards, adding 51 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. His performance, however, was overshadowed by the injury and the team’s disappointing outing.
“It’s a tough break for Jayden and the team,” said Commanders head coach. “We will monitor his condition closely in the coming days.”
Daniels, who was named Offensive Rookie of the Year last season, led the Commanders to a 12-5 record and nearly reached the Super Bowl. This latest injury raises serious questions about his recovery and the team’s prospects for the remainder of the season.
Fans and analysts alike are left in suspense as they await further updates on Daniels’ condition. The Commanders will need to prepare for potential changes to their roster and game strategy moving forward.
Next Steps: The team is expected to release more information regarding Daniels’ injury in the coming days. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
