Jayden Daniels will not play again this season.

The Commanders have officially shut down their quarterback as he continues dealing with his elbow injury, ending his year early and forcing Washington to confront some uncomfortable realities about the rest of the season and the direction of the franchise.

On this episode of Commanders Squad, we break down:

Why Jayden Daniels sitting the rest of the season was the right decision

What this means for the Commanders over the remaining games, including this Saturday against the Eagles

How Washington should handle the quarterback position and player health moving forward

What the focus becomes now that the season’s priorities have shifted

This isn’t about panic or hot takes. It’s about protecting a franchise quarterback, understanding where the Commanders actually are, and being honest about what comes next.

Commanders Squad streams live with in-depth Commanders analysis, real conversations, and no nonsense takes on the state of Washington football.
