Jayden Daniels suffered an injury during the Washiongton Commanders’ Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers. Daniels left the game to get x-rays during the first quarter.
Daniels led the Commanders on an 11-play, 85-yard drive that resulted in a field goal that gave the Commanders a 10-0 lead over the Panthers. Daniels was seen rubbing his midsection during the drive and was checked out by the training staff on the sideline. Eventually, he was told to head back to the locker room to get checked out further.
