🔗 Share this article Washington Head Coach Accepts Responsibility for Leaving Jayden Daniels in Contest Before Serious Harm The Commanders leader Coach Quinn has admitted he shares a portion of the blame for a serious ailment to the squad’s signal-caller, Jayden Daniels. Details of the Injury and Situation Daniels, who had among the best first-year performances in history last season, sustained a dislocated elbow joint in the Sunday loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Although the quarterback throws with his right arm, the issue has placed his season uncertain. The condition was significant enough that the TV coverage avoided showing repeats and multiple athletes looked away as Daniels was treated by medical staff. Criticism and Coach’s Reaction Coach Quinn came under criticism as many believed Daniels should not have been on the field to begin with. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter with the Commanders behind 38-7, rendering a recovery unlikely. It is common in such circumstances for teams to insert their backup quarterback to prevent injuries to their first-string player. “I understand. I’ve been reflecting about it constantly, too, and, wow, I missed it,” he remarked of his decision to leave Jayden in the game. “That is 100% my fault.” Fallout and Team Outlook Mariota will be the team’s primary QB going forward, but he will lead a team in turmoil. Following making the conference title game the prior year behind Daniels’s excellence, the team have faced difficulties currently. They also lost cornerback Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and pass-catcher McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on Sunday, and have a host of other key players on injured reserve. The Washington squad are 3-6 so far, and it would take a huge reversal for the team to make the playoffs.
