NFL doctors are worried that Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels could suffer another elbow injury after he dislocated his left elbow twice in less than a year. Despite being cleared to play with a protective brace and participating fully in practice, sources cited by ESPN’s Adam Schefter say many medical professionals believe Daniels is at high risk for reinjury. The article details Daniels’ preparations for Sunday's game against the New York Giants while discussing his team's backup plan if he can't play due to injury or performance concerns.

Story summary
Jayden Daniels, quarterback for the Washington Commanders, is set to return to play this Sunday against the Giants despite recent medical concerns. Daniels has missed Washington's past two games after suffering his second dislocated left elbow in just over 11 months, most recently during a Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. Despite being cleared by specialists and wearing a protective brace, NFL doctors around the league warn that players who have had multiple elbow dislocations are at higher risk of future injuries, citing sources reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. Daniels participated fully in practice all week but will be backed up by rookie Athan Kaliakmanis due to Marcus Mariota being out with a knee injury.
