Jayden Daniels has been ruled out with a left elbow injury sustained during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. According to CBS Sports, the injury occurred on the final play of the first half when Daniels was stepped on and attempted to brace his fall. Multiple outlets described the injury as gruesome, with Yahoo Sports reporting that Daniels' left elbow bent back awkwardly before he was carted to the X-ray room. The incident was notable enough that Fox Sports announcer Tom Brady audibly reacted on air after seeing a replay of the injury.
Pro Football Talk noted that this is the same elbow Daniels dislocated in a November 2025 game against the Seahawks. Yahoo Sports also reported that Daniels missed 10 games last season due to injury, though the reporting does not specify whether that absence was elbow-related or connected to this current injury.
