Jayden Daniels carted off field after gruesome arm injury in potential Commanders nightmare

Jayden Daniels appears to have succumbed to another potential setback, suffering an apparent injury to his left arm during the last play of the first half of the Commanders’ game against the Cowboys.

The Commanders have already ruled him out for the remainder of the game Sunday’s game at AT&T Stadium and he had to be carted off to the Washington locker room.

Daniels, who dislocated his left elbow in 2025, appeared to have gone down to brace himself from falling and his elbow very clearly bent in a way that caused severe audible reactions from the Fox broadcast team.

The injury occurred during a third-and-goal play with mere seconds left on the clock in the second quarter.

A teammate seemed to step on Daniels’ foot and that caused him to lose his balance, which led to him attempting to brace his fall.
