Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels sustained a hamstring injury during the third quarter of the team’s 44-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

On a first-and-10 in Cowboys territory, Daniels was strip-sacked by Shemar James and was holding his left leg down on the field before he went to the sideline. He was replaced on the Commanders’ next offensive possession by Marcus Mariota.

Washington was trailing 34-15 by the time the offense was back on the field. Mariota threw a pick-six on the drive following Daniels’ injury, pushing Dallas’ lead to 41-15 with five minutes and 31 second left in the third.

Daniels was initially listed as questionable to return before he was downgraded to out in the fourth quarter.

Daniels, 24, has already missed time during his sophomore season.
