Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has been forced to end his 2025 NFL season prematurely due to a recurring left elbow injury. The second-year quarterback initially suffered the injury in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks and attempted to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, but unfortunately aggravated the issue. Daniels' season was marred by multiple injuries, including a hamstring strain and a knee sprain, which limited him to playing in just seven games this year. Despite his best efforts, the Commanders have decided to prioritize his long-term health, ruling him out for the rest of the season. In his place, veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota will take the starting role for the remainder of the season, as the Commanders face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. With the team already eliminated from playoff contention at 4-10, the game's dynamics have significantly shifted in favor of the Eagles. The betting landscape has also undergone a drastic change, with the Eagles now favored by around a touchdown at most sportsbooks. The absence of Daniels, who possesses dual-threat abilities and dynamic playmaking skills, has made the Eagles' victory seem all but certain, leaving bettors and oddsmakers with little doubt about the outcome of the game.
