India, Dec. 8 -- The Washington Commanders QB took a bad hit on his elbow during the third quarter vs the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The 24-year-old was spotted on the bench, surrounded by trainers as Marcus Mariota took over.

Daniels missed three games with a dislocated left elbow, and his participation on Sunday didn't look promising when he wasn't cleared for contact as practice resumed this week.

After an early third-quarter interception against the Minnesota Vikings, Daniels absorbed a crushing block during the return. He stayed down on the turf for a prolonged stretch before slowly making his way to the sideline and into the blue medical tent. As he received attention from trainers, backup Marcus Mariota began warming up.
