Jayden Daniels Avoids Elbow Surgery, Eyes Return Within 1 Month

Summary
Washington expects Jayden Daniels back within a month after multiple medical opinions led the team to rule out surgery for his dislocated left elbow.
Adam Peters said injured reserve has not been discussed, signaling Daniels is likely to miss fewer than four games even after some doctors recommended season-ending surgery.
The injury happened Sunday against Dallas when Daniels stumbled, braced on the turf and dislocated the elbow; X-rays showed no fracture after doctors put it back in place.
The decision carries extra risk because Daniels dislocated the same elbow in 2025, returned without surgery and then re-injured it, ending his season; Marcus Mariota is set to start for now.
