The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a> season has gone south. Still, as they prepare for Week 14 and their game against the Minnesota Vikings, quarterback Jayden Daniels is progressing after suffering a gruesome injury.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jayden Daniels</a> finally had a full practice after he was limited on Wednesday. This puts him in firm position to start against the Vikings. Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow in Week 9.



Daniels has missed six games this season. He has completed 62.5% of his passes for 1,184 yards and eight touchdowns with two interceptions. Daniels has a 94.4 passer rating this season in six games played.



<h2>Mariota has very similar stats </h2>



Mariota has completed 63.2% for 1,359 yards, nine touchdowns and six picks for an 87.1 passer rating. Without the picks, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcus-mariota" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mariota</a> has put up very similar numbers to the ones Daniels has. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251205_BUS_539417_Marcus-Mariota_253bde8e.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Marcus Mariota, QB for the Washington Commanders" class="wp-image-347728" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Marcus Mariota, QB for the Washington Commanders</figcaption></figure>



Also, both provide rushing ability but are susceptible to fumbles or a bit of recklessness. In the end, Mariota is a seasoned vet and not as big of a downgrade as some might think. Having said that, of course the Commanders would like to have their second-season quarterback starting games.

<h2>The Vikings also have a QB issue</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vikings</a> have their own world of trouble when it comes to quarterbacks. JJ McCarthy hasn’t been what they have hoped and he is not confirmed to be back this week.



However, the alternative is undrafted rookie year Max Brosmer, who debuted last week and threw four interceptions as his team scored a total of zero points. Hence, it’s a tough out for anyone under center representing Minnesota.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniels</a> will unfortunately miss the game against the Denver Broncos at Northwest Stadium, a fact that deeply frustrates Washington Commanders fans. They must settle for Marcus Mariota knowing their QB1 will be sidelined due to a lingering elbow injury, forcing him out of this important Sunday Night Football (SNF) game.



The game is significant because even though the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a> enter Week 13 with a poor 3-8 record, the Broncos arrive on a formidable eight-game winning streak. Daniels’ presence on the field would have been crucial in trying to end that streak.



Compounding this, the Commanders are currently on a losing streak. While a playoff push is highly improbable, they need a couple more victories to avoid finishing the season with an abysmal record. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcus-mariota">Mariota</a> is expected to contribute at least one win; the team currently sits last in the NFC East.



<h2>When could Daniels return to play?</h2>



According to one of the latest reports, there is a probability that Daniels could return for Week 14, a scenario mentioned by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The insider indicated that the quarterback’s return is a “realistic possibility.”



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Jayden Daniels (left elbow) on possibly returning this season, via <a href="https://twitter.com/BenStandig?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BenStandig</a>: “If I’m back out there and I’m healthy and ready to go, I want to be out there.”<a href="https://t.co/l2vgUH5fUr">pic.twitter.com/l2vgUH5fUr</a>— Underdog NFL (@UnderdogNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/UnderdogNFL/status/1993365433542447340?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



Daniels himself spoke about his status on November 25, offering an unclear date for his exact return: “If I’m back out there and I’m healthy and ready to go, I want to be out there.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jayden-daniels-net-worth"></div>


<h2>How has Mariota fared recently replacing Daniels?</h2>



In the last two games where Mariota had to step in for Daniels (against the Lions and Marlins), he has unfortunately not been able to lead the Commanders to a win. However, he has managed to throw three touchdowns and only one interception. While these are not elite stats, the Commanders’ offensive line has been disastrous this year.

Although last season was among the best in recent memory for the Washington Commanders in terms of performance, they are currently struggling to regain their form. The team faces a crucial matchup against the Detroit Lions without its starting quarterback, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jayden Daniels</a>.



As per the latest injury report from the <a href="https://www.commanders.com/team/injury-report/week/REG-10" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders’ official website</a>, Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for the game against the Lions. He is suffering from an elbow injury sustained during a collision in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks.



Daniels has participated in only six games this season for various reasons. For instance, in Week 8, he was sidelined due to a hamstring injury, and in Week 4, he missed the game against the Atlanta Falcons with a knee injury.



Given the circumstances, Daniels hasn’t been the decisive factor he was for the team last season. The lack of consistency and the array of issues he has faced this regular season are key reasons he hasn’t delivered at an elite level for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commanders</a>.

</div></figure>



<h2>Daniels’ struggles this season</h2>



Analyzing the regular season statistics for Daniels, his basic passing metrics do not immediately signify any major issues. However, a deeper dive into the advanced stats reveals a concerning pattern emerging in his performance.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/commanders-face-a-silent-adversary-threatening-to-derail-their-nfl-season-ambitions"></div>


In comparison to last season, Daniels has already fumbled the ball 10 times during pass attempts, reaching half the total number of fumbles he had in all 17 games last season, despite having only played 6 games this year. Similarly, he has thrown the ball away 8 times this season, compared to 15 times in the entire previous season, indicating a troubling trend in his passing precision.



<h2>Uncertain player statuses ahead of Lions clash</h2>



As the Commanders prepare to face the formidable <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a>, caution takes precedence, with several players listed as uncertain regarding their availability for today’s game. Out of these, only three players are officially designated as questionable.



Defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, along with safeties Quan Martin and Tyler Owens, have yet to have their participation confirmed against the Lions, who themselves will be missing six players, including Myles Frazier, who is sidelined with a knee injury.

The Washington Commanders were one of last season’s pleasant surprises in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, with Jayden Daniels emerging as their standout star. Unfortunately for Dan Quinn, things haven’t gone as planned this year, with a significant challenge throwing roadblocks in their path week after week.



What’s at the heart of it all? The dreaded injuries, with the Commanders being one of the teams hit hardest. The recent news of their star quarterback’s elbow injury casts serious doubt over the near future for a team that had higher hopes at the start of the season.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deebo-samuel">Deebo Samuel</a>, one of the offensive players added to the team in the last offseason, didn’t hold back when addressing the recent struggles the team has faced in the past few weeks. Undoubtedly, with a healthy roster, the results might have been very different.



The former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver said that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniel</a>‘s injury “took all the air out of the ball”, per John Keim of ESPN. “It’s like, jeez, we can’t catch a break.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251108_BUS_522829_deebo-samuel_9d679382.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Deebo Samuel" class="wp-image-522884"></figure><figcaption>Deebo Samuel Sr. #1 of the Washington Commanders.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>What’s going on with Jayden Daniels?</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Washington Commanders</a> quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss extended time after suffering a dislocated left elbow in Sunday’s game. While the injury looked gruesome and initially feared to be season-ending, the team received positive news: tests confirmed Daniels avoided ligament damage and will not require surgery. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-announces-strong-punishment-to-commanders-star-for-repeated-violations"></div>


The young QB will be ruled out for at least the next few games, but the non-surgical nature of the injury provides a slim lifeline for the Commanders, keeping the door open for a potential return later this season.



<h2>Injury wave hits the Commanders</h2>



The Washington Commanders’ 2025 campaign has been defined by a relentless wave of injuries that has decimated both sides of the ball. Most critically, quarterback Jayden Daniels has struggled to stay on the field, missing time with knee and hamstring issues before suffering a dislocated elbow that has sidelined him indefinitely. 



He is joined on the sideline by star wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad), whose consistent presence in the passing game has been sorely missed. Defensively, the team has also been hit hard, losing starting cornerback Marshon Lattimore for the season with a torn ACL, severely testing the depth of a unit already battling to keep opponents in check.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Washington Commanders</a>’ latest outing not only added another loss to the books but also saw multiple key players sidelined with injuries, along with the suspension by the NFL of one of their top stars.



Dan Quinn faces a new headache heading into the upcoming game, as one of his top defensive players has been suspended. Frankie Luvu was handed a one-game suspension for repeated violations of the rule against low-hip tackles.



While the player is expected to appeal the suspension, if the appeal is denied he will not only miss the Week 10 matchup against the Lions but also forfeit a game check worth $508,333. His eventual return is anticipated during the international game against the Dolphins in Madrid.



“Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu has been suspended without pay for one game for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players, including during Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks,” reported the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251104_BUS_520775_Frankie-Luvu-1024x576_cd25be9b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Frankie Luvu Washington Commanders" class="wp-image-321619" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Frankie Luvu #4 of the Washington Commanders.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Not the first time</h2>



The NFL has issued a one-game suspension to Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu for repeated violations of the league’s ban on the hip-drop tackle. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-franchises-that-were-relocated-teams-that-no-longer-exist"></div>


This disciplinary action, which sidelines Luvu for the crucial Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions, makes him the first player suspended under the new rule. Luvu had previously been fined on two separate occasions this season (after Weeks 4 and 8) for the dangerous tackling maneuver, leading the league to escalate the punishment for his third offense.



<h2>Week 10 brings plenty of absences</h2>



The Washington Commanders’ upcoming Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions looks increasingly challenging due to a depleted roster under head coach Dan Quinn. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/not-only-jayden-daniels-commanders-suffer-multiple-injuries-in-blowout-loss-to-seahawks">Commanders suffered multiple injuries in blowout loss to Seahawks</a>, and the fallout continues, headlined by quarterback Jayden Daniels suffering a dislocated elbow, sidelining him indefinitely. 



Adding to the defensive concerns, linebacker Frankie Luvu is suspended for repeated hip-drop tackle violations, while cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) is officially out. The absence of key players on both sides of the ball presents a significant hurdle as the team tries to rebound.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Washington Commanders</a>’ latest outing turned out to be more disastrous than expected. Not only did they suffer another loss, this time to the Seattle Seahawks, but multiple injuries also struck hard, shaking the core of Jayden Daniels’ squad.



Hearts stopped at Northwestern Stadium as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Daniels</a>’ elbow bent unnaturally after making contact with the turf, leaving everyone in the stands stunned. While medical evaluations are still pending, the images of the injury were nothing short of alarming.



“QB Jayden Daniels, who left Sunday’s loss with his left arm immobilized, suffered a dislocated elbow and will have an MRI to determine how long he’s out, sources say,” the insider Ian Rapoport revealed via X.



Despite the situation, the reporter noted that the injury could have been far worse than it ultimately turned out to be. “The belief is it’s not as bad as it could’ve been. But Daniels will miss several games.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251103_BUS_520294_jayden-daniels-injury-1024x576_cc09c0dd.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jayden Daniels injury" class="wp-image-520331" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jayden Daniels #5 of the Washington Commanders.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Major loss for the defense</h2>



Daniels’ absence wasn’t the only setback for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-quinn">Dan Quinn</a>’s team, as the defense has now been dealt a major blow. While medical evaluations are still pending, it’s believed that cornerback Marshon Lattimore may have torn his ACL, potentially ending his season.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-franchises-that-were-relocated-teams-that-no-longer-exist"></div>


“CB Marshon Lattimore, who left Sunday’s loss early, is feared to have torn his ACL, per me and @MikeGarafolo. He’ll have an MRI, but another significant injury from a rough Sunday night,” the insider Rapoport reported via @RapSheet.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251103_BUS_520294_marshon-lattimore-1024x576_1b5f65c2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marshon Lattimore" class="wp-image-520343" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marshon Lattimore #2 of the Washington Commanders.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Another nightmare in Washington</h2>



With Daniels and Lattimore already sidelined, the Commanders’ coach knows he will likely be without one of his wide receivers as well, potentially for the remainder of the season.



Luke McCaffrey, one of the team’s primary passing options at quarterback, broke his collarbone on one of the opening snaps against the Seahawks, and his participation this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season could now be seriously in jeopardy moving forward.



Rapoport stated: “Bad to worse: #Commanders WR and returner Luke McCaffrey broke his collarbone last night, per The Insiders, and is headed to Injured Reserve. Another blow on a bad night in Washington. It was the first play of the game, and now likely misses the season.”

The Washington Commanders have been navigating a somewhat inconsistent NFL season, making every win crucial from here on out. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniels</a> and his squad face a pivotal matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, as they look to leave Arrowhead with their fourth victory of the campaign.


 


Unfortunately for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-quinn">Dan Quinn</a>, this key game will have to be played without his biggest star, as Jayden Daniels has once again been ruled out due to the hamstring injury he suffered back in Week 7 against the Cowboys. That means Marcus Mariota will get the start under center for the Commanders.



Week 8 of this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season shapes up as a pivotal one for Washington, as the Eagles have slowly started to pull away from their NFC East rivals. Any further slip-up could seriously jeopardize the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a>’ hopes of staying in the hunt for a potential wild card spot.



The other piece of bad news for Quinn’s team is that standing across from them will be none other than Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs — perennial title contenders in recent years and home to one of the most explosive offenses in the league.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251027_BUS_516203_marcus-mariota-1-1024x576_6c1b1ae9.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marcus Mariota" class="wp-image-499835" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marcus Mariota #8 of the Washington Commanders warms up.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>What injury is keeping Jayden Daniels out?</h2>



Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has been officially ruled out for the highly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a hamstring injury.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/marcus-mariota-gets-key-washington-commanders-teammates-back-for-prime-time-clash-with-chiefs"></div>


Daniels, the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, suffered a low-grade strain in the third quarter of Washington’s Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday. The injury occurred after Daniels was sacked and fumbled, immediately grabbing the back of his right leg as he limped off the field. 



Although the injury is not considered long-term, the Commanders are taking a cautious approach, paving the way for veteran backup <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcus-mariota">Marcus Mariota</a> to make his third start of the season.



<h2>How much do the Commanders lose without Daniels?</h2>



Without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels, the Commanders’ offense takes a significant statistical hit. Daniels, who has a 97.7 passer rating this season, eight touchdowns, and averages 206.2 passing yards per game, is replaced by Marcus Mariota, whose rating dips to 85.8 with just three passing touchdowns and two interceptions on fewer attempts. 


 


Furthermore, the team is 2-3 in Daniels’ starts compared to a 1-1 mark in Mariota’s two relief starts, highlighting the drop in play-making ability and overall offensive stability the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year brings to the field.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a> have not been lucky this season. Especially when considering the health of their quarterback Jayden Daniels. Now that they face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8 on Monday Night Football, head coach Dan Quinn has given an update on if the team’s quarterback will duel with Patrick Mahomes. 



Unfortunately for the Commanders, Dan Quinn ruled out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniels</a> in his press conference. “We knew it wasn’t going to be significant — meaning long[-term] — but also not well enough to say, OK in six days, it’s ready to go based on speed and how you would handle this&nbsp;type of injury. So, all of the week will be focused for him on the rehab in hopes of the following week.”



The Commanders are now preparing to face Mahomes and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> with Marcus Mariota under center. Washington is 1-1 this season with Mariota. However, the Chiefs won’t have any mercy. Mahomes is playing his best football, the Chiefs offense is looking better and better and if Mariota can’t keep up, the Commanders won’t have any chance at winning.



<h2>Mariota has a history with Mahomes</h2>



Mariota was a divisional rival of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mahomes</a> when he played for the Las Vegas Raiders. Also, they have played each other three times, once in the postseason. Mahomes has won the three games against Mariota.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251023_BUS_514352_Marcus-Mariota-1024x576_4eacbfea.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marcus Mariota #0 of the Washington Commanders" class="wp-image-347728" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marcus Mariota #0 of the Washington Commanders</figcaption></figure>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marcus-mariota" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mariota</a> is capable of bringing dynamism to an offense, but he will fail to make good reads on defense and can be a bit reckless at times. He is the definition of an up-and-down quarterback.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jayden-daniels-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The Commanders have plenty of injuries to deal with</h2>



All bad times must come to an end. That’s what the Commanders must tell themselves. Last week, Daniels got injured and they had no receivers as Terry <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terry-mclaurin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McLaurin</a>, Deebo Samuel and Noah Brown are all injured.



At least now, McLaurin and Samuel returned to practice this Thursday. While positive, without Daniels it’s a tough ask to go to Arrowhead and steal a win. It’s up to Mariota to pull one of the biggest upsets of the season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a> had an awful Week 7. They lost to bitter rivals Dallas Cowboys and saw how star quarterback Jayden Daniels left the game injured. However, head coach Dan Quinn provided an update as the team prepares to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday.



Per Tom Pelissero of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Network, Quinn said Daniels’ hamstring injury is “not significant or long-term.” Still, he didn’t commit to give his QB a status for the “Monday Night Football” showdown.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniels</a> suffered the injury in an open play where he got sacked and landed awkwardly. At first, it was the knee who made everyone in the Commanders shake in fear, but it ultimately was the hamstring that kept Daniels out of the game.



<h2>Daniels hasn’t looked as crisp this year</h2>



The sophomore slump is a real thing. Daniels had a historic rookie season but now he hasn’t looked the same. He went from 69% completion to 61% for instance. He has been clinical in the red zone with eight touchdowns and just one interception, but the offense looks somewhat stagnant at times.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251020_BUS_512743_jayden-daniels-2-1024x576_f20885aa.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jayden Daniels Washington Commanders" class="wp-image-420085" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jayden Daniels #5 of the Washington Commanders</figcaption></figure>



He also has missed time already. Backup Marcus Mariota has played twice this season, and could have a primetime spot against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chiefs</a> if Daniels can’t recover on time. He is still a box office QB, but the NFL catches up fast and Daniels is noticing it.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/most-loyal-mlb-fans-through-losing-seasons"></div>


<h2>The Commanders haven’t fixed their defense</h2>



The Commanders shouldn’t be 3-4, the expectations were much higher. However, their defense hasn’t improved and that’s an issue they’ve had since last year. They’ve allowed 24 or more points in all but two games this season. Hence, they force the offense to be on shootouts week in and week out.



This falls on Quinn. He got his job due to a great work he did in Dallas as the defensive coordinator. He was a key part of the ‘Legion of Boom’ unit in the early 2010s in Seattle too. However, it’s his second year now and the Commanders have nowhere near a good defense. There is little to no improvement.

The Washington Commanders’ inconsistent performance this NFL season could be seriously impacted not only by the uncertainty surrounding Jayden Daniels’ short-term availability but also by another tough injury blow. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-quinn">Dan Quinn</a> confirmed that a key player will be out for the rest of the season.



Veteran Dorance Armstrong, a key piece of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a>’ defense, suffered a serious knee injury and will be unable to join his teammates for the remainder of the season.



The news was confirmed by the head coach himself and reported by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Adam Schefter through his official X (formerly Twitter) account. There, the serious blow was revealed for a team once considered a title contender.



“Commanders DE Dorance Armstrong suffered a season-ending knee injury, per Dan Quinn,” the reported shared via @AdamSchefter. It may be time to reshuffle the deck for one of the most influential defensive ends in Washington’s system.

<h2>Armstrong’s impact on the Commanders’ defense</h2>



The Washington Commanders defense will face a significant challenge after defensive end Dorance Armstrong was ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Armstrong, who had quickly become a key component of Joe Whitt Jr.’s new defensive scheme, was off to a hot start in 2025, already logging 5.5 sacks and seven quarterback hits in just six games. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/commanders-to-sign-treylon-burks-updated-wr-depth-chart-amid-terry-mclaurins-injury-setback"></div>


His departure creates a massive void in the edge rotation and puts immediate pressure on depth players like Preston Smith and Jacob Martin to fill the void left by one of the team’s most effective pass rushers.



<h2>Uncertainty surrounding Jayden Daniels</h2>



The Washington Commanders are bracing for a difficult stretch as the availability of quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniels</a> remains a question mark for next week’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. 



While coach Dan Quinn confirmed that the MRI on Daniels’ right hamstring indicated a “not significant or long-term” injury, the dual-threat QB’s status for Monday Night Football will not be known until later in the week. 



If the hamstring forces Daniels—who already missed two games earlier this season with a knee injury—to sit, veteran backup Marcus Mariota is expected to step in, having taken over late in the loss to the Cowboys and previously started in the two games Daniels was sidelined.

<h2>What’s next for the Commanders?</h2>



The season is far from over for the Commanders, which means from this point forward, they’ll need to stack as many wins as possible to stay in the hunt in the NFC East:



<ul><li>@ Kansas City Chiefs, October 27</li><li>vs Seattle Seahawks, November 2 </li><li>vs Detroit Lions, November 9</li><li>@ Miami Dolphins, November 16</li><li>Bye Week</li></ul>

Dan Quinn confirms Jayden Daniels, Commanders are losing key player for rest of 2025 NFL season - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniels</a> spent a few moments on the ground complaining of pain during the game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Washington Commanders quarterback was quickly taken to the medical tent where he was evaluated for several minutes, and according to a report from Tom Pelissero, he won’t return to the game.



However, an additional report from Erin Andrews of Fox Sports NFL offered a sign of hope: “Jayden Daniels gave his mom a thumbs up after he exited the medical tent.” Following that signal, he proceeded to the locker room for further analysis.



Commanders fans have no choice but to await the full medical report following the conclusion of the game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Cowboys</a>, a game in which Washington was trailing 22-44 in the fourth quarter with ten minutes left on the clock as of this writing.



Regarding the initial signs of Daniels’ injury, Dr. Tom Christ offered his independent opinion on X: “Grabs at his right hamstring after this hit. Not a traditional way to injure the hamstring, but there what he’s grabbing at. His hip is forced into flexion, excessive rapid hip flexion could stress the hamstring.”



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Jayden Daniels gave his mom a thumbs up after he exited the medical tent.<a href="https://twitter.com/ErinAndrews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ErinAndrews</a> has more on his status ⬇️ <a href="https://t.co/Sa48hnSaG2">pic.twitter.com/Sa48hnSaG2</a>— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLonFOX/status/1980042184784265548?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 19, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<h2>Who Could Replace Daniels if He Misses Week 8?</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a>’ depth chart points to Marcus Mariota as the player who would replace Daniels should he be unable to play. The other quarterback, Josh Johnson, is injured, meaning the team’s only alternative is to look for another quarterback externally.



The Commanders’ situation is not yet dire, as a potential 3-4 record is not the end of their season. However, if Daniels cannot recover in time, things could become complicated, especially since they must face the Chiefs on the road in Week 8 and then the Seahawks in Week 9.

The Washington Commanders are navigating an up-and-down NFL season, where every win from here on out could provide a major boost — and every loss, a tough setback. This Monday, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniels</a> and company will look to build on their positive record as they host the always-tough Chicago Bears at home.


 


Unfortunately for Dan Quinn, the offense will be without a key piece once again, as star wide receiver Terry McLaurin remains sidelined with the quadriceps injury he’s been battling since Week 3. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a>’ top target will once again have to watch from the sidelines.



The news was confirmed by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> insider Adam Schefter, who reported via his official X account (formerly Twitter) that Washington’s offense faces a significant setback, as they will also be without wide receiver Noah Brown.



“Commanders ruled out WRs Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown for Monday night’s game vs. the Bears,” the insider reported via @AdamSchefter.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251011_BUS_507040_terry-mclaurin-1024x576_2b1d971b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Terry McLaurin" class="wp-image-507077" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders.</figcaption></figure>



McLaurin was one of the major storylines this past offseason, as the wide receiver spent the final stretch resolving his contract situation with the franchise.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jayden-daniels-receive-bad-update-on-terry-mclaurins-status-for-commanders-game-vs-bears"></div>


<h2>McLaurin’s role in the Washington offense</h2>



The Washington Commanders’ already challenged offense is set to take another massive hit with the confirmation that star wide receiver <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terry-mclaurin">Terry McLaurin</a> will miss his third straight game due to a nagging quad injury. 



McLaurin, a former Pro Bowler who consistently posts 1,000-yard seasons despite erratic quarterback play, is the unquestioned No. 1 option and field-stretcher for signal-caller Jayden Daniels, providing the reliability and vertical threat that prevents defenses from loading the box. 



His repeated absence forces offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury to completely redesign the passing attack, placing a disproportionate burden on the rest of the receiving corps and limiting the opportunities for the Commanders to find explosive plays downfield against the Chicago Bears.

Bad news for Jayden Daniels: A key weapon for the Commanders will miss the game against the Bears

Bad news for Jayden Daniels: A key weapon for the Commanders will miss the game against the Bears - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a> have high hopes for the season, but they have not been able to count with their best wide receiver in the last couple of weeks. While head coach was optimistic earlier in the week, it seems like Terry McLaurin won’t be able to play alongside Jayden Daniels for another week.



It’s been reported that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terry-mclaurin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McLaurin</a> hasn’t practiced this week, making him an absentee of practices since Week 3. He has 10 catches for 149 yards this season and it’s the best receiver on the roster.



The Commanders also practiced without WR Deebo Samuel and running back Chris Rodriguez. Tight end John Bates and WR Noah Brown were limited in practice. However, the big news is offensive guard Sam Cosmi being a full participant. He could be absolutely massive in providing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jayden Daniels</a> better protection.



<h2>McLaurin’s extension has not looked good</h2>



McLaurin held out almost all preseason looking for a new contract. He got it. Now, he didn’t play that well in the first few weeks, and now a calf injury has sidelined him for two weeks, possibly three. It’s not looking good at all.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251009_BUS_506161_Terry-McLaurin-Washington-Commanders-NFL-2023-1024x572_fb2220d5.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Terry McLaurin of the Washington Commanders" class="wp-image-50921" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Terry McLaurin of the Washington Commanders</figcaption></figure>



McLaurin is 30 years old and now has missed time. Plus, his output hasn’t been as great as before. Literally, these were the reasons why the team was so hesitant to give him the bag, but now it’s done, and McLaurin needs to start delivering but the calf issue is taking more time than expected.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jayden-daniels-net-worth"></div>


<h2>It’s a great QB battle for Monday Night Football</h2>



Commanders and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bears</a> have the first two picks of last year’s draft and let’s just say we should have a brilliant quarterback battle between Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams. Daniels has had a better career so far but Caleb is slowly improving under new coach Ben Johnson.



Also, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Williams</a> and the Bears are coming off a bye week with plenty of time to keep planning this game and learning the playbook. The offense must look good or Williams will be in the eye of the storm.

Jayden Daniels receives bad update on Terry McLaurin’s status for Commanders’ game vs Bears

The 25 best Washington Commanders of all time: Stars who made NFL history

Jayden Daniels receives bad update on Terry McLaurin's status for Commanders' game vs Bears - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a>‘ offense is one of the best in the NFL despite having quite some injuries. Jayden Daniels missed two games but came back and won in his return. Speaking of returning, the team’s best wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been sidelined but great news about his status are coming the franchise’s way as they prepare to face the Chicago Bears in Week 6.



McLaurin has missed the last two games with a quad injury, but head coach Dan Quinn gave a positive update on Monday’s press conference. He said he is “optimistic” to get the wideout back for Monday Night Football against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Bears</a>.



Quinn also said that&nbsp;“having an extra day never hurts.” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terry-mclaurin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McLaurin</a> had 10 catches for 149 yards in the three games he’s played this season. He also got a contract extension during the offseason.



<h2>McLaurin’s connection with Daniels is great</h2>



One of the reasons <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jayden Daniels</a> is such a good quarterback is his arm. Another reason is having such a great wide receiver like Terry McLaurin on the roster. McLaurin has good routes, great hands and a flawless connection with Daniels.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251006_BUS_504228_Terry-McLaurin-wide-receiver-for-the-Washington-Commanders-1024x576_5826dbb9.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Terry McLaurin, wide receiver for the Washington Commanders" class="wp-image-452177" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Terry McLaurin, wide receiver for the Washington Commanders</figcaption></figure>



Now that the offense also has Deebo Samuel on its roster, McLaurin has even more space. Yes, he shares some of his targets, but McLaurin is a guy focused on winning. All of a sudden, the Commanders have one of the best receiving corps in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dan-quinn-net-worth"></div>


<h2>Kliff Kingsbury is arguably one of the best OCs in the NFL</h2>



Kingsbury’s time as a head coach in Arizona was really bad. He took some time off the league but then came back as the Commanders’ offensive coordinator. He is arguably the best OC in the NFL right now. His offense is really creative and the Commanders have still delivered even when Daniels and McLaurin have been sidelined.



Kingsbury’s offense is so good schematically that even with injuries, the chains move. He lost his starting running back, now the committee of Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez, and Jeremy McNichols is working wonders too. It’s time to recognize Kingsbury is on top of his game.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a> play one of the best games of the week against the Los Angeles Chargers. After missing two games, there is a great update on quarterback Jayden Daniels.



The team posted on social media that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jayden Daniels</a> is back and ready to start this Sunday. Hence, we will have a massive QB battle against Chargers’ Justin Herbert.



The offense has still put up points without Daniels in the lineup but it’s obvious it looks better with him instead of Marcus Mariota. While both are very athletic and fast, it’s Daniels’ arm that gives the offense a whole new dimension.



<h2>Is Terry McLaurin playing today vs. Chargers?</h2>



Unfortunately for the Commanders, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/terry-mclaurin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">McLaurin</a> remains out due to a quad injury. The injury happened in Week 3 and he has missed two straight games. Despite head coach Dan Quinn saying he was trending in the right direction, ‘Scary’ Terry won’t be able to suit up yet.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251005_BUS_503633_Terry-McLaurin-wide-receiver-for-the-Washington-Commanders-1024x576_220e1220.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Terry McLaurin, wide receiver for the Washington Commanders" class="wp-image-452177" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Terry McLaurin, wide receiver for the Washington Commanders</figcaption></figure>



McLaurin signed a massive extension in the offseason but even when he was on the field, he wasn’t lighting the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> on fire either. In three games, he has 10 catches for 149 yards without any touchdowns.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jayden-daniels-net-worth"></div>


<h2>The Commanders have other problems</h2>



The Commanders’ defense is reason for concern. They rank 24th in yards allowed and 18th in points allowed this season. For a team that is supposed to be a contender, those are bad stats that even Jayden Daniels won’t be able to overcome. If you pressure your quarterback to be in shootouts, eventually he will lose.



Against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chargers</a>, they are facing a tough challenge since it’s a very talented and deep offense. If they aren’t able to contain Justin Herbert, it could be a very long and exhausting night for Washington.
