Although Daniels passes with his right arm, the injury has left his campaign in doubt. The condition was serious enough that the TV coverage avoided showing repeats and several players turned away as he was attended to by team doctors.
Backlash and Coach’s Reaction
Coach Quinn came under criticism as numerous felt the rookie should not have been on the field to begin with.

Mariota will be the team’s starting quarterback from now on, but he will lead a roster in disarray. Following making the NFC championship game the prior year thanks to Daniels’s brilliance, the team have struggled currently. They additionally saw injuries to cornerback Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and pass-catcher Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on game day, and have a number of other starters on the injury list. The Commanders are 3-6 so far, and it would require a massive reversal for the club to reach the playoffs.
