If I were a Commanders fan, I would be nervous…very nervous.
jayden danielsthe Washington Commanders’ rising star quarterback from LSU was knocked out with a rib injury during the team’s first possession against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. He was then removed from the match.
Daniels returned to the locker room with his trainer in the first quarter and did not return to the sideline until the second half. Then he was wearing street clothes.

Daniels took an x-ray. ESPN Officials said, “He is in good spirits.”
Daniels appeared to be injured when Washington took off for a 46-yard run on the first play from scrimmage. Near the end of the dash, Daniels went slightly to the left in an attempt to stiffen his arm to keep Carolina safe. ronnie johnson jr.with linebacker Marquis Haynes Johnson helped tackle Daniels from behind.
It ended up being a pretty awkward fall for Daniels, and everything escalated from there.
Jayden Daniels gains 47 yards on his first play!

I briefly had a Robert Griffin III moment, where he departed quickly with Washington, just like Daniels. I collapsed quickly due to my injury. …How do you sleep if you’re a Commanders fan?
