Jayden Daniels Returns to Practice 10 Days After Elbow Dislocation as Brace Stabilizes Joint

Summary
Daniels was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday in England, returning about 10 days after dislocating his left elbow and saying he feels no added risk if cleared to play Sunday against Indianapolis.
A large brace is driving that confidence: it allows full flexion but blocks full extension, stabilizing the joint after specialists advised he could return without immediate surgery.
The recovery is notably faster than last season, when the Commanders quarterback missed three games after his first elbow dislocation, though he said any decision on offseason surgery will wait until after the year.
Sunday's remaining question is availability, with Daniels repeating he is taking it day by day as Washington tries to reach .500 in its London game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
