After seeking multiple opinions on his injured left elbow, Commanders QB Jayden Daniels will not undergo surgery, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels did not suffer any ligament damage to the elbow and "will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve," Rapoport adds. That seemingly leaves the door open for Washington to change its mind, perhaps if they lose another couple of games with QB Marcus Mariota. Daniels is expected to be re-evaluated during the Commanders' Week 12 bye, so we certainly won't see him before Week 13. We'll continue to keep you updated on his status, but Daniels is worth keeping stashed if you have the bench space.
