Summary
Three seconds before halftime, Jayden Daniels went down at the Dallas 1 after being stepped on by a lineman and landing on his left elbow, then stayed on the turf after throwing the ball away.
The injury came after Daniels had sparked Washington back into the game, helping trim a 17-0 deficit to 17-10 with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs and a 27-yard Drew Stevens field goal.
Daniels had accounted for most of Washington's offense before exiting, completing 11 of 17 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown while adding 69 rushing yards on seven carries.
Dallas still held the halftime edge behind Dak Prescott's 15-of-19 passing for 155 yards and two touchdowns, while CeeDee Lamb had six catches for 94 yards.
The scene raised immediate concern because Daniels dislocated his left elbow last season and had already missed 10 games in 2025, according to earlier reporting.
