Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered a rib injury during his team’s home game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and was promptly ruled out for the remainder of the game.
CBS Sports’ Evan Washburn reported on the broadcast that the quarterback underwent X-rays for the injury, but nothing emerged from those X-rays as fans waited to hear anything about their dynamic quarterback.

Soon afterward, the mother of Jayden Daniels would take to her X account to provide a huge update on his health.
“He’s fine #httc,” wrote Regina Jackson on X, formerly Twitter.

Daniels came back onto the sidelines without his uniform in the second half to cheer on his team.
Jayden Daniels had attempted just two passes prior to exiting Sunday’s game. He completed both for six yards.
His most action came with his legs as he burned the Panthers defense with 50 yards on three carries, including a 46-yard scramble on the offense’s first drive.
The Commanders announced that Daniels’s return to the game was questionable, but they made the good decision to have him out there since they already had a huge lead.
