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.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> came off a bye week with one thing in mind: beating the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football. They did, but it was tougher than expected. Still, head coach Sean Payton made something clear about the Week 13 win.



Quickly after the game, the narrative was that the Broncos escaped with an OT win. For Payton, it was clear. “We&nbsp;didn’t escape. We won,” Payton said, via Michael Phillips of the Associated Press in a classic <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> way. “The journey of a good team’s season involves games like this. And then you believe you can do it again.”



Payton is not a guy to sugarcoat anything and he is an old fox in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Hence, he knows a win is a win, no matter how you’re able to get it. In the end, it was an away primetime game for the Broncos and a win put them 10-2.



<h2>The offense is still not clicking</h2>



Hey, the team scored 27 points and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a> threw for 321 yards, how can someone say the offense is not clicking? Well, Nix threw an interception once again, had less than 50% efficiency on third downs, only 87 rushing yards and the Commanders had more first downs than the Broncos. Oh… and the Commanders were playing with a backup quarterback.



<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_20251201_BUS_537676_bonix_f3eead10.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos" class="wp-image-527223"></figure><figcaption>Bo Nix quarterback of the Denver Broncos</figcaption></figure>



The reality is that the defense made plenty of good plays despite allowing 26 points. That includes a key defensive play by edge Nik Bonitto on a two-point conversion that would’ve won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commanders</a> the game.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20201117#BUS#166032"></div>


<h2>At 10-2, Denver is lacking a strong resume</h2>



Yes, being 10-2 is a very hard thing to do in the NFL, but when looking at the games, it doesn’t seem like Denver is a contender. In fact, the Broncos don’t have too many ‘statement wins’. 



As a matter of fact, the Broncos have beaten just one team that would go to the playoffs if the season ended today. The other two playoffs teams that they have faced are the Colts and Chargers, which are the Broncos’ two losses on the season.

<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.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a> lost 13-16 to the Miami Dolphins at the Bernabeu Stadium in Spain. It was not a great loss but it seems like the team found a guilty person. Hence, its decision with Matt Gay might seem drastic but also not surprising.



According to the Commanders’ X page, they’ve communicated that kicker Matt Gay has been released from his duties. Matt Gay missed two kicks against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dolphins</a> in a three-point loss. Hence, if he scored those two, the team would’ve won. 



Gay’s season was not one that the team could just sweep under the rug. Gay has missed six field goals this season. He is averaging a career-low 68.4 field goal percentage.



<h2>The Commanders’ issues are more than just kicking</h2>



While missing field goals is not ideal, this team has way more issues than just the kickers. In fact just two of the Commanders losses have been by three or less points. The fact of the matter is that this team has lots of bad traits. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/19155306/Dan-Quinn-5-1920x1080.webp" alt="Head coach Dan Quinn of the Washington Commanders " class="wp-image-475458" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Dan Quinn of the Washington Commanders </figcaption></figure>



The reality is that going to the NFC Championship game last year was a bad thing for the Commanders. It made them think they were closer to success than what they actually were, and that rushed some moves. The coaching is an issue right now, as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-quinn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dan Quinn</a> experiment is going downwards. The defense is not doing great and the offense has been hampered by injuries.


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


<h2>The Commanders regressed a ton</h2>



In 2024, the team still had a bad defense, but were able to win shootouts. They ended the season 12-5 before beating the Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round and then going through the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a>.



This time around, they are 3-8 and have the longest losing streak in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> right now, with six straight losses. It’s one of those teams that had lots of potential but it seems like everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

Washington Commanders make drastic decision with Matt Gay after loss to Dolphins - Bolavip US

Madrid’s landmark <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> week continues at the Bernabeu, where the buildup gains a ceremonial edge. The stadium readies itself for a blend of spectacle and tradition as two teams, the Dolphins and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a>, meet far from familiar ground.



Before the first play, the stadium shifts into a more formal register. The anthems—symbols carried across borders—will shape an atmosphere that blends national pride with the charged anticipation of a historic matchup.



The moment promises a measured rise of sound and significance, crafted to frame the game with nuance rather than spectacle, grounding the afternoon in tradition before the intensity on the field takes over.



<h2>Who will sing the anthems at today’s NFL game?</h2>



To inaugurate the NFL’s first-ever game in Madrid, the league has curated a pre-game musical lineup that highlights vibrant and versatile talent from Spain. The ceremony will feature two key performances to honor the respective nations.



The Madrid Marine Infantry Group Band will have the distinct honor of performing Spain’s National Anthem, the Marcha Real Española. Following this, Madrid-based vocalist Karina Pasian will take the stage to perform the U.S. National Anthem.



<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_20251116_BUS_526696_Karina-Pasian_96ffadca.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-526704"></figure><figcaption>Karina Pasian arrives at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009.

These performances are set to kick off the historic Week 11 game. Beyond this inaugural game, the league remains committed to growing the sport at every level in Spain, engaging with fans year-round. 



Spanish fans can tune in to the Commanders-<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Dolphins</a> game on Mediaset España’s free-to-air channel Cuatro or on DAZN, while fans in the United States can watch the match on NFL Network.

Madrid is making history as the stage for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>’s first regular-season game in Spain, with the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders set to face off at the iconic Bernabeu. It’s a bold statement of global ambition…



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Dolphins</a> were named the “designated home team” for this international showcase, part of the league’s broader effort to deepen its footprint in Europe, a strategy years in the making as the NFL tests new markets.



For the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Commanders</a>, it represents more than just a trip overseas — it’s a chance to connect with new fans and reinforce the growing presence in one of the major sporting capitals, adding significance to a matchup already framed by history.



<h2>Why are the Dolphins and Commanders heading to Madrid this week?</h2>



The decision to bring the Dolphins to Madrid isn’t accidental, it’s part of a deliberate, long-term expansion strategy. The league has ramped up its international schedule for 2025 and this marks its first-ever regular-season game in Spain.



By naming Miami the “designated home team” for this Madrid Game, the NFL is leveraging its Global Markets Program, which grants select franchises marketing rights abroad.



This isn’t just about a one-off spectacle. The league aims to deepen its roots in Spain by supporting fan engagement, youth flag‑football programs, and ongoing partnerships.



<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_20251116_BUS_526745_Tua-Tagovailoa_e533e078.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-526795"></figure><figcaption>Tua Tagovailoa #1 of the Miami Dolphins in 2025.

Washington wasn’t randomly selected. The Commanders bring both narrative and relevance to the international stage. This game marks their second overseas appearance, giving the franchise a new way to connect with global audiences.



Their roster adds color and drama: young leader <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayden-daniels">Jayden Daniels</a>, a rising quarterback, helps position them as a marketable, growth‑oriented team. Madrid offers a fresh platform for them, not only to win on the field but to build a fanbase in Europe, in a city that embraces historic sporting events.



Also, choosing the Real Madrid-owned Bernabeu Stadium gives this matchup added gravitas. The iconic venue was recently renovated and tailored for the NFL’s format, combining European architectural prestige with American football spectacle.

Madrid is bracing for a historic moment as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins">Miami Dolphins</a> square off against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders">Washington Commanders</a> — and the city is expecting a sea of fans. Local authorities estimate hundreds of spectators at the iconic Bernabeu.



The stadium itself has become part of the spectacle. Crews have reshaped the pitch, adjusted sightlines and reconfigured the venue to meet <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> standards, turning a futbol cathedral into a one-day arena for a different kind of intensity



Behind the ticket frenzy, the league’s global growth story looms large: Spain’s appetite for American football has clearly matured, with this crowd promising to reflect not only locals, but a wave of international visitors.



<h2>A crowd set to fill the Bernabeu for the NFL game</h2>



The Miami Dolphins vs. Washington Commanders game in Madrid is expected to draw around 78,297 attendees, filling much of the Bernabeu Stadium. Without a doubt, it’s one of the most anticipated moments not only for the league but also for those eager to see them live.



The Bernabeu, recently renovated, has a capacity of about 84,000. Local organizers and the league believe that the vast majority of the audience will come from Spain itself, highlighting the growing domestic passion for American football.



<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_20251116_BUS_526713_Bernabeu-Stadium_cc68f5a0.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="" class="wp-image-526733"></figure><figcaption>A general view outside the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in 2025. (Source: Denis Doyle/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



This high attendance not only reinforces the NFL’s international ambitions, but also brings a significant economic windfall to Madrid: the local restaurant and hospitality sector is expected to earn up to €21.2 million from the influx of fans.



Beyond the sheer size of the crowd, the matchup itself adds an extra layer of intrigue. Miami arrives in Madrid with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tua-tagovailoa">Tua Tagovailoa</a> steering the offense, looking to steady a season marked by sharp highs and puzzling lows. 



Washington, under <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dan-quinn">Dan Quinn</a>’s direction, continues its push to rebuild identity through a more disciplined defensive approach. The game also represents a milestone for the league: the first regular-season appearance in Spain.



All week, the city has taken on the feel of a football festival. Fans from both sides filled plazas and fan zones, joined skills events and followed interactive installations spread across Madrid’s landmarks.

The match marks the first regular-season game in Spain, folding sport and pageantry beneath the stadium’s lights.



Halftime will spotlight a Latin music showcase: Argentine producer Bizarrap alongside Puerto Rican icon Daddy Yankee. The billing reframes the break as a cultural bridge, promising a mix of studio craft and classic reggaetón swagger.



Their set arrives amid the debut of a fresh collaboration and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>’s wider international push. Expect a high-energy interlude that amplifies the evening’s scale while keeping some moments intentionally offstage.



<h2>Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee team up for the NFL halftime show</h2>



The NFL has announced an all-star lineup for the league’s first-ever game in Spain. The halftime performance will be headlined by Argentine producer and four-time Latin GRAMMYs winner BIZARRAP alongside Puerto Rican rapper, singer and songwriter Daddy Yankee.



This collaboration between two of Latin music’s biggest stars will be historic, as they will perform their brand-new track, “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66”, live for the very first time. The event will also mark the first time Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee, who officially stepped out of retirement earlier this year, will perform live together.

Get ready Madrid, get ready NFL, we are going to have an amazing show!”.



The singer wasn’t the only one to speak about the show; Tim Tubito, Senior Director of Global Game Presentation and Entertainment at the NFL, also said: “We’re thrilled to welcome them to our first-ever game in Madrid and can’t wait for fans to witness history, including the inaugural performance of the BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66 and a pregame lineup of inspirational talent. It will be a celebration of music and culture you won’t want to miss”.

A few days ago, a video surfaced that showed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a>‘ defensive tackle Daron Payne hitting Detroit Lions‘ wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. The suspended player accused the wideout of punching him first, and then he posted that clip. Hence, if the NFL suspended Payne, will they suspend St. Brown?



To be fair with St. Brown, he also admitted to punching Payne in his podcast, which he regretted. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> fined Amon-Ra St. Brown $12,172. However, he won’t serve any suspension. 



Clearly, the Commanders got the short end of the stick, as Payne even appealed but the suspension was upheld. Hence, there are clearly some irregularities from the league. The suspension was worse for the reactor and not the instigator of the issue.



<h2>St. Brown needs to be careful</h2>



People know Amon-Ra St. Brown as one of the elite wide receivers in the NFL, but he must be careful with these actions. The is the third time he’s been fined in his career. 



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

St. Brown got fined $43,709 for a blindside block against Chicago back in 2023. After that, he had to pay $11,255 for a taunting penalty against Dallas in 2024. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lions</a> star is collecting fines every single year.

<h2>The Lions must thank their lucky stars St. Brown wasn’t suspended</h2>



Detroit has a massive game in store for this week. The Lions play on Sunday Night Football against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a>, defending Super Bowl champions. Hence, if the Lions had to face this team without their best offensive weapon, it would be a problem, especially on primetime.



St. Brown has 64 catches for 693 yards and eight touchdowns this season. He is a two-time All Pro and three-time Pro Bowler, among the best of the best in the NFL. He is also a team captain, so he is key for the team.

Injuries have hit the Commanders hard this season. Not only is Jayden Daniels still sidelined with an elbow injury, but star wide receiver Terry McLaurin remains out due to a quad issue.



McLaurin won’t play in Week 11 when the Commanders face the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. As a result, the team has signed not one but two new wide receivers to strengthen Mariota’s offense.



<h2>Who are the new wide receivers for the Commanders in Week 11?</h2>



Terry McLaurin has long been the Commanders’ top receiving threat. Unfortunately, he’s struggled to stay healthy this year, appearing in only four games so far.



The offense has dealt with injuries all season, and McLaurin’s absence has had a significant impact on their production. To address the lack of depth, the Commanders decided to reinforce the position ahead of their overseas matchup.



Before traveling to Spain, Washington promoted Robbie Chosen and Jacoby Jones from the practice squad to the active roster. Chosen has already appeared in two games this year, catching five passes for 53 yards, while Jones has yet to make an appearance this season.

<h2>When will Terry McLaurin return?</h2>



The Commanders will get a bye week following their Week 11 game in Spain. According to reports, Terry McLaurin could return for the final six games of the regular season.



In Week 13, Washington will host the Denver Broncos. While Jayden Daniels may still be unavailable, the possible return of McLaurin would provide a huge boost to an offense that has struggled to stay consistent.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a> were absolutely blasted by the Detroit Lions on Sunday. For defensive tackle Daron Payne, the frustration got the better of him as he punched opposing wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Now, the NFL has taken action towards that unfortunate event.



Per the official statement, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> said, “Washington Commanders defensive lineman Daron Payne has been suspended without pay for one game for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct during Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.”



Payne’s action violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 and Rule 12, Section 2, Article 14(d). These make allusion to throwing punches, or striking, swinging or clubbing the head or neck of opponents.



<h2>Payne’s teammate blames St. Brown for the incident</h2>



Javon Kinlaw, who was also flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct during the game, said that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lions</a> player instigated the whole thing. Per Nolan Bianchi of Detroit News, Kinlaw said, “Daron [Payne] only retaliated because the refs literally saw the first punch.” When asked if he saw St. Brown hitting Daron Payne, Kinlaw was firm, “Yeah, for sure and they [refs] did too. That s— was some b——- 100%.“

<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Here is the play that led to the NFL suspending Commanders DT Daron Payne one game for punching Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. <a href="https://t.co/Qftr78xO8G">pic.twitter.com/Qftr78xO8G</a>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1987886436733886526?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 10, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

There are no camera angles or footage that actually show Amon-Ra St. Brown punching Payne. Hence, it’s just taking Kinlaw’s word as true and the NFL won’t suspend or fine someone for hearsay.

<h2>Commanders are getting really frustrated</h2>



Besides throwing punches or having ill-mouthed words during interviews, this team looks very frustrated. Between injuries and just underwhelming results in comparison to last year, the Commanders are at the brink of explosion.



They have lost five games in a row. Instead of getting healthier, they are getting more and more injured and the games are just not going as planned. Their defense is really bad, allowing the fourth most points in the NFL and third most yards against. It’s been a tough season for a team with high expectations and players are starting to lose faith.

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.”

<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.
