Overview
- Coach Dan Quinn and GM Adam Peters informed Daniels on Monday that he will not play again this season after re-aggravating a dislocated left elbow and failing to gain contact clearance.
- Washington chose not to place Daniels on injured reserve, enabling limited practice participation during his rehab.
- Marcus Mariota will start the final three games for the 4-10 Commanders, who have been eliminated from playoff contention.
- Quinn said Daniels was unlikely to play Saturday against Philadelphia and noted the subsequent short week further reduced any chance of a return.
- Mariota, a pending free agent, has appeared in 10 games with seven starts this year and now gets a three-game audition to close 2025.
