The rookie QB suffered a rib injury in the first quarter against Carolina and didn't return, but the team continued to shine in his absence.

Jayden Daniels’ left rib injury overshadowed the Washington Commanders’ 40-7 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers.

Daniels was initially ruled questionable to return, and later returned to the sidelines from the locker room without his uniform, though he offered a smiling wave to the crowd. ESPN reported X-rays on the signal-caller's ribs were encouraging.
