Oct 19, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (5) looks to pass the ball against the Dallas Cowboys during the first quarter of the game at AT&T Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will undergo an MRI exam on Monday after leaving in the third quarter of Sunday’s 44-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, with a hamstring injury.
On first-and-10 at the Dallas 39, Daniels dropped back and was sacked by Shemar James, fumbling the ball while being pulled down with Dallas recovering. Daniels was slow to get up and limping as he left the field and went to the medical tent with 11:47 remaining in the third quarter.
Daniels then went back into the locker room for further evaluation. He missed two games this season after sustaining a knee sprain during the Commanders’ Week 2 loss at Green Bay.
The Commanders were trailing 27-15 when Daniels left the game. Dallas scored after recovering his fumble and then returned a Marcus Mariota interception for a touchdown to run away with the game after Daniels went down.
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said that Daniels wanted to go back into the game, but the staff elected to hold him back given the multiple-score deficit Washington was facing by the time he could have potentially returned. Washington has an extra recovery day before its next game at Kansas City on Monday, Oct. 27.
Daniels completed 12 of 22 passes for 156 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz. Daniels also rushed eight times for 34 yards, including a 1-yard TD.

NFL offensive line rankings ahead of Week 8
The top five goes unchanged, but several teams see big movement: The Buccaneers, Falcons and Jaguars all fell six or more places after shaky outings in Week 7. The Colts remain the class of the league: Center Tanor Bortolini has developed into a stud, while Quenton Nelson and Bernhard Raimann continue to be star pass protectors. Estimated Reading Time: 20 minutes Few things are more important to an NFL team’s success than the quality of its offensive line. Disastrous lines, or even singular weak-link mismatches, can determine the outcomes of games, while strong units provide an incredible advantage. We will monitor NFL offensive line play all season and highlight each team's biggest weak-link players.

Detroit is college football’s new cradle of QBs. Is Donald Tabron the next Bryce Underwood?
For this year and years to come, a 45-mile corridor in southeast Michigan has a chance to be known as a cradle of College Football Playoff quarterbacks. To illustrate the point, all you have to do is put a pin in the map and connect the strings.One piece of string stretches from Detroit’s Martin Luther King High School to Eugene, Ore., where Dante Moore starts for the sixth-ranked Oregon Ducks. Another connects the town of Saline with South Bend, Ind., where CJ Carr is a first-year starter for No. 12 Notre Dame. The short strand connecting Belleville with Ann Arbor represents Bryce Underwood, the star freshman who will get his first true taste of the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry when the No. 25 Wolverines face the Spartans on Saturday night.AdvertisementThere’s another piece of string, length yet to be determined, set aside […]
CFL Week 20: PFF Team of the Week, Player Awards
Nathan Rourke, Most Outstanding Player: The British Columbia quarterback’s 91.0 overall grade was the highest among all players, mainly driven by his 70-yard touchdown scramble. Big game from Calgary RB Dedrick Mills: The back forced a league-high eight missed tackles and gained an impressive 177 total yards on just 16 offensive touches. With one week remaining in the CFL regular season, the playoff teams are set. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers, B.C. Lions and Calgary Stampeders all won last week to keep their hopes of hosting a playoff game in the West Division alive, while the Montreal Alouettes did the same in the East and still have a chance at a first-round bye. As always, we’re recognizing the league’s top performers from last week in this edition of the CFL Team of the Week. The Blue Bombers, despite a narrow 17-16 […]
What I’m seeing from the Flyers after 6 games: Vladar excelling, Michkov playing catch-up
Travis Konecny is, in fact, still Travis Konecny.The Philadelphia Flyers’ emotional leader recorded his first goal of the season on Monday in a 5-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, after he failed to convert on a handful of chances in previous games. It was only a matter of time before he broke through.AdvertisementBut then Konecny reminded everyone else at Xfinity Mobile Arena of the other part of his game and personality that is so valued in Philadelphia. After taking exception to Ryan Lindgren plowing into Owen Tippett in the third period of a game that was essentially decided by that point, he made a beeline toward the Kraken defenseman, who then initiated a fight. Konecny, of course, was more than happy to oblige — and afterward, cameras caught him demonstrably jawing at Lindgren with the two in the penalty box.“I […]
Juraj Slafkovský’s game is taking steps, and it has nothing to do with scoring goals
MONTREAL — Juraj Slafkovský stood at his locker answering questions after scoring in a second straight game, and he was wearing the price of doing business.He had a scratch on his cheek and another one or two on his neck. He was nicked up just about everywhere.And he didn’t care. His Montreal Canadiens were back on the winning side.AdvertisementTwo days earlier, before the Canadiens’ game against the New York Rangers, Slafkovský’s coach, Martin St. Louis, was asked what he was seeing in the young power forward’s game even though, at the time, he had one power-play goal and no assists in five games.“Slaf is fine,” St. Louis responded. “I think, offensively, would he like his touches to be a bit better? Yes. But I feel it’s like the rest of our team. Defensively, he’s been really, really good. And again, […]
