Already in the midst of a miserable season, things went from bad to worse for the Washington Commanders in Week 14. With the team sitting at 39, the Commanders may have lost both quarterback Jayden Daniels and tight end Zach Ertz to injury. Daniels — who was just coming back from a left elbow injury — was the first player to leave Sunday. After being intercepted, he was shoved onto his already injured left elbow and left the contest. That brought in backup Marcus Mariota, who — not long after coming into the game — sailed a pass to veteran tight end Zach Ertz down the field.
Already in the midst of a miserable season, things went from bad to worse for the Washington Commanders in Week 14. With the team sitting at 3-9, the Commanders may have lost both quarterback Jayden Daniels and tight end Zach Ertz to injury.
Daniels — who was just coming back from a left elbow injury — was the first player to leave Sunday. After being intercepted, he was shoved onto his already injured left elbow and left the contest.
That brought in backup Marcus Mariota, who — not long after coming into the game — sailed a pass to veteran tight end Zach Ertz down the field. Ertz had to leap to try and make the catch. While the ball hit him in the hands, Ertz couldn't come up with the catch. But before he hit the ground, Ertz was hit directly in the knee area by Minnesota Vikings safety Jay Ward.
Content warning: Video of the injury is gruesome.
