Jayden Daniels 2025 season is over.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Washington Commanders are shutting down Daniels as he continues to recover from aggravating his dislocated left elbow.
Rapoport notes that Daniels was re-evaluated on Monday and was not medically cleared. With the quarterback expected to be medically ruled out for Saturday’s game against Philadelphia and then a quick turnaround for a Christmas Day game against the Cowboys on a Thursday, the Commanders decide it was in the best interest to shut him down.
Daniels, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, led the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game last season but his second year has been a disappointment as he’s played in just seven games due to a multitude of injuries.
The goal for the Commanders will be to make sure their young quarterback can remain healthy as they move forward.
