The Story in 60 Seconds

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has traveled to London and returned to practice ahead of the Week 4 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, marking his second dislocation in ten months. He is practicing with a specialized protective arm brace, though head coach Dan Quinn stated the team will not rush his return.

Daniels will reportedly require offseason surgery to repair damaged ligaments, but opted to delay the procedure to remain available this season. If Daniels is held out against the Colts, veteran backup Marcus Mariota will start in his place following his three-touchdown performance against Seattle.
