        No Long-Term Concerns With Jayden Daniels' Elbow

        8:51pm UTC 12/8/25

        Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Monday that QB Jayden Daniels' is "sore" but that there's no long-term concern about the health of his left elbow. Quinn declined to say whether Daniels will play against the Giants on Sunday. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but we're starting the week projecting QB Marcus Mariota to get the start. Daniels has dealt with knee, hamstring, and elbow injuries in this lost season for Washington.

        Jayden Daniels Suffers Serious Left Arm Injury

        4:03am UTC 11/3/25

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a gruesome left arm injury late in the fourth quarter of a 38-7 game vs. the Seahawks on Sunday night. He was placed in an air cast and helped off the field. This has the look of a significant, potentially season-ending injury. If there's good news, it's that it's to Daniels' non-throwing arm. But expect him to miss significant time, turning the offense back over to QB Marcus Mariota.

        Jayden Daniels Won't Play Week 8

        4:48pm UTC 10/22/25

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) won't play vs. the Chiefs on Monday night, according to multiple reports. Daniels is dealing with a "low-grade hamstring strain," per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Not a long-term injury but Commanders don't want to risk it," Fowler adds. It sounds like Daniels has a chance to be back for Week 9's game against the Seahawks, but it'll be QB Marcus Mariota back under center in Kansas City. He made two starts earlier this season, finishing QB6 against the Raiders and QB19 against the Falcons. It's a tough spot on Monday night, with Washington sporting an 18.5-point implied total vs. the Chiefs' fifth-ranked QB defense. That has Mariota sitting outside the top-12 in the Week 8 QB rankings. But he's a viable spot starter if you're dealing with injuries or bye weeks at the position.

        Jayden Daniels' Hamstring Injury Not Significant, Uncertain For Week 8

        7:59pm UTC 10/20/25

        Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Monday that QB Jayden Daniels' hamstring injury is not significant but that he's uncertain for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. That's relatively good news. But, considering Daniels' play style and injury history, we'd be a bit surprised if he played just eight days after suffering this injury. We'll keep a close eye on his status this week. The late kickoff could leave fantasy owners hoping to start Daniels in a tricky spot. Your best bet in that case might be rostering QB Marcus Mariota as insurance. He turned in QB6 and QB19 fantasy finishes in two starts in place of Mariota earlier this season.

        Jayden Daniels Hurts Hamstring

        10:30pm UTC 10/19/25

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered an apparent hamstring injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He headed straight into the medical tent. We'll update Daniels' status when we know more. He'll be replaced by QB Marcus Mariota, who played well in two starts earlier this season and will be a fantasy factor if Daniels misses more time.

        Jayden Daniels Remains Limited Thursday

        11:16pm UTC 9/25/25

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons is still uncertain. We'll see what Daniels does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report. Marcus Mariota will again be a lower-end QB1 option if Daniels sits.

        Jayden Daniels "Day-To-Day" Heading Into Week 4

        8:19pm UTC 9/22/25

        Commanders HC Dan Quinn labeled QB Jayden Daniels "day-to-day" with his knee injury on Monday. Quinn added that QB Marcus Mariota's solid showing in the Week 3 win over the Raiders will not impact Daniels' timeline for return. Considering Daniels got in a limited practice this past Friday, we're expecting him back for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. But we'll keep you updated on his progress throughout the week. Daniels owners would be wise to have Mariota stashed on benches for now.

        Jayden Daniels "Likely" Back For Week 4

        12:22pm UTC 9/21/25

        NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) "likely" to return for Week 4. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, and this always sounded like a short-term injury. QB Marcus Mariota gets the start against the Raiders today, but Daniels owners can tentatively expect to have him back in fantasy lineups next week.

        Marcus Mariota To Start Week 3

        4:29pm UTC 9/19/25

        Commanders QB Marcus Mariota will start this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, HC Dan Quinn said Friday. It's been trending this way most of the week, with Washington erring on the side of caution with QB Jayden Daniels' knee injury. Daniels did return to a limited practice on Friday, which should have him on track to return for Week 4. But it'll be Mariota under center on Sunday, making him an intriguing fantasy spot starter.

        Rapoport: Jayden Daniels A "Long Shot" To Play Week 3

        1:36am UTC 9/19/25

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) is a "long shot" to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Thursday night. Daniels' injury isn't serious, but the team will "err on the side of caution," Rapoport added. This is the vibe we've gotten on Daniels all week. QB Marcus Mariota is the favorite to start against Vegas and sits surprisingly high in the Week 3 QB rankings. We'll update Daniels' status again on Friday.

        Jayden Daniels Iffy for Week 3 with Knee Sprain

        6:35pm UTC 9/15/25

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels sprained his right knee in Thursday night's loss at Green Bay, according to multiple reports. The injury's not expected to cost him much time -- if any -- but it does put his availability in question for Sunday's home date with the Raiders.

        Jayden Daniels Remains Uncertain For Week 8

        11:43am UTC 10/26/24

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will participate in Saturday's walkthrough and get additional treatment on his rib cartilage injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "They’ll see how he feels Sunday," Rapoport adds. Daniels seemingly has a legitimate chance to play against the Bears tomorrow, although we're still projecting QB Marcus Mariota to get the start. We'll keep you updated on the situation. Daniels would come with elevated risk if he does play -- but he'd be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups.

        Commanders HC Dan Quinn on Monday called QB Jayden Daniels "week to week" with the rib injury that knocked him out of Sunday's win over the Panthers. He added that they're "hopeful" he can play in Week 8 against the Bears.

        X-Rays Clean On Jayden Daniels' Ribs

        10:25am UTC 10/21/24

        X-rays on Commanders QB Jayden Daniels' ribs showed no fractures, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Daniels is scheduled for additional testing to get a better idea of his injury. Former NFL head team Dr. David Chao suspects Daniels is dealing with a rib cartilage injury that could cost him this weekend's game vs. the Bears. We should learn more over the next 24 hours. QB Marcus Mariota played well in relief of Daniels against a bad Panthers defense, completing 18 of 23 passes for 205 yards and two TDs. He also ran 11 times for 34 yards. The task will be much tougher if Mariota starts vs. the Bears this weekend.

        Jayden Daniels Leaves With Rib Injury

        4:38pm UTC 10/20/24

        Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a rib injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He headed back to the locker room and is officially questionable to return. We'll update Daniels' status when we know more. He's been replaced by QB Marcus Mariota.

        Update: Daniels has been ruled out. He returned to the sidelines for the second half, though. And Daniels' mom tweeted that he's "fine."

        Jalen Hurts pulled

        5:49pm UTC 1/7/24

        Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was pulled near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He injured his right finger earlier in the game, returned for a few series, and then was yanked with Philly down 24-0. We'll look for updates on that finger injury, but Hurts should be ready for next weekend's Wild Card game vs. the Buccaneers. QB Marcus Mariota will finish out this game for the Eagles.

        Jalen Hurts now questionable with illness; stash Marcus Mariota

        11:06am UTC 12/17/23

        The Eagles have added QB Jalen Hurts to the injury report as questionable for Monday night's game against the Seahawks. The change reportedly came after Hurts woke up sicker than expected Sunday morning. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Hurts is traveling separately from the team, and we'll have to see Monday whether he's able to play. If you're counting on Hurts, try to stash backup QB Marcus Mariota now. If that's not an option and you'd be left with no QB if Hurts is inactive, then you'll have to decide whether to take that risk. Players don't usually go inactive for illness, so we'd guess that Hurts will play. But it's only a guess at this point.
