Although the quarterback passes with his dominant arm, the issue has placed his campaign uncertain. The condition was significant enough that the television broadcast avoided showing repeats and several athletes turned away as he was attended to by team doctors.
Criticism and Leader’s Response
Coach Quinn came under scrutiny as numerous believed the rookie ought not to have been on the playing surface in the first place. The incident happened in the fourth quarter with the Commanders trailing 38-7, making a comeback unlikely. It is typical in such situations for clubs to put in their reserve QB to avoid harm to their starter.
“I get that. I’ve been reflecting about it nonstop, too, and, man, I erred,” he said of his choice to keep Daniels in the game. “This is 100% on me.”

They additionally lost cornerback Lattimore (ACL tear) and pass-catcher McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on game day, and have a number of other starters on the injury list. The Washington squad are 3-6 so far, and it would require a huge reversal for the club to reach the postseason.
