What happened
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow late in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys and was carted off the field. Commanders coach Dan Quinn said imaging showed a dislocation but no fracture. Daniels is expected to miss time after suffering the same injury less than a year after it sidelined him for part of last season. The injury came on the final play of the first half at the Dallas 1-yard line, when Daniels braced a fall with his left arm. Washington turned to backup Marcus Mariota, who later threw a touchdown to Stefon Diggs. Dallas won 37-20. More testing comes next.
How each side covered it
From the left
Left-leaning outlets we track didn't cover this story.
From the right
Right-leaning outlets framed the injury as a brutal, potentially season-shaping blow rather than a routine quarterback setback. Fox News lingered on the unnatural bend of the elbow and called it a “season-defining crisis”. Breitbart News faulted the fourth-down call as “catastrophic” and treated Tom Brady’s profanity as understandable.
