Report: Some doctors believe Jayden Daniels risks another elbow dislocation

Jayden Daniels is set to return to the field this Sunday for the Washington Commanders after missing three weeks due to his second left elbow dislocation in less than a year. While he plans to utilize a protective brace, some medical professionals outside the organization have expressed concerns that a third injury is inevitable given his tendency to extend that arm when bracing for falls.

The long-term stability of the joint may eventually require surgical intervention, creating a precarious situation for both the quarterback and head coach Dan Quinn. With Marcus Mariota currently sidelined, the team is moving forward with Daniels despite the potential for future setbacks that could impact his career trajectory and the coaching staff's future.
