Head coach Dan Quinn briefed reporters Wednesday, Sept. 23, and revealed that his young QB, Jayden Daniels , is seeing another specialist in order to assess his dislocated left (non-throwing) elbow − meaning there's still no update as to when the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year might return to action, if he does it all in 2026. Quinn did say the team isn't considering adding another quarterback to the roster, at least until he has a better idea of what Daniels' prognosis is.
Daniels re-injured his elbow, which was initially compromised last November against the Seattle Seahawks − the same team Washington will face in Week 3 − at the end of the first half in Sunday's blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys .
Dart, Daniels' counterpart, will miss the rest of the season due to an extensive knee injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams .
