There is no definite timeline for Daniels' return, following his elbow dislocation against the Seahawks. ESPN's John Keim reported that the quarterback “is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, but it is uncertain whether his season is over,” as reported by USA Today.

Meanwhile, NFL Network's Ian Rapport adds that the second-year quarterback is expected to "miss several games' but noted the belief is [the injury is] not as bad as it could’ve been."

Daniels is set to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the full extent of his injury. According to multiple reports, X-rays on his left arm came back negative. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn just told reporters only that the 24-year-old had sustained a left elbow injury

He said, "I'll update you more once I know more. But that's what I know tonight."
