Warner Advises Daniels
Hall of Famer Kurt Warner urges Jayden Daniels to play through elbow injury
Anonymous
Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner said Jayden Daniels could potentially play through his left, non-throwing elbow injury, citing his own experience with a similar injury in 2007, when he wore a brace and returned the following week. Warner said the injury might affect Daniels’ movement or designed runs but not his throwing, and argued it should not by itself raise long-term concerns about a contract extension. Daniels was injured during Washington’s game against Dallas after a strong first half that showcased his passing and scrambling ability. Other coverage questioned Warner’s comparison, noting Daniels’ age, history of missing time with the same injury and the need for medical guidance before deciding between a return and further treatment. The Commanders were consulting doctors, and Daniels’ availability remained unsettled.
Key Points
1
Warner’s 2007 injury initially was expected to sideline him longer, but after returning the following week in a brace, he started every remaining game that season. He later became the Cardinals’ starter and led them to the Super Bowl in 2008.
2
Before he was injured against Dallas, Daniels completed 11 of 17 passes for 96 yards and had 69 rushing yards on seven carries; the article noted that all of his rushing yards came on scrambles rather than designed runs.
3
Warner was 36 when he played through his injury in 2007, while Daniels is 25—a difference the article highlights as relevant to their contrasting career circumstances and decisions about playing through an injury.
4
Dan Orlovsky raised the condition of Washington’s banged-up offensive line as a factor the team might weigh in deciding whether Daniels could safely return; Warner disagreed with that concern, according to the report.
