Jayden Daniels has a dislocated left elbow, and Washington coach Dan Quinn did not have a timetable for his return when he provided an update Monday. Quinn began his video conference by admitting it was a mistake to leave Daniels in the game in the fourth quarter Sunday night. The Commanders were down 38-7 to Seattle in a game they’d eventually lose 38-14, and Daniels had already missed time this season with knee and hamstring problems. The second-year quarterback was hurt with 7:29 remaining, when he was tackled and his non-throwing arm bent gruesomely after he put his hand on the ground.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jayden Daniels left Washington’s game against Seattle with an injury to his left, non-throwing arm. Daniels’ arm bent gruesomely while he was being tackled near the goal line in the fourth quarter. The Commanders were down 38-7 at the time, raising questions about why Daniels was still in the game. It was yet another injury for the second-year quarterback in a season that has quickly spiraled for Washington. Daniels had just come back from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss the previous game at Kansas City. He also missed two games earlier this season with a knee injury.

Case-Western got on the board with a short field goal, then turned a fumble recovery into an early second quarter lead, 10-7. After an exchange of punts, W&J scored a pair of touchdowns about 3 1/2 minutes apart. DeRosa ended both drives in the endzone as the Presidents ran the ball 14 consecutive plays over the the possessions, carrying a 21-10 lead to intermission.
