Emmanuel Acho torches "idiotic" Dan Quinn for playing Jayden Daniels in garbage time when down 31 points after QB breaks his arm

Washington Commanders quarterback Jaydan Daniels suffered a gruesome elbow injury in his team's 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9 on Sunday night. Daniels' injury occurred in the fourth quarter, when Washington was down 31 points, and many suggested he should not have been on the field since the game was all but lost.

Former NFL linebacker also had the same opinion and slammed Commanders coach Dan Quinn for playing Daniels at the time the QB broke his arm.

"I don't like throwing out the word negligent often, especially when talking football," Acho said in a video he posted on X on Sunday. "But what the Washington Commanders and Dan Quinn did was just completely negligent to their quarterback, Jayden Daniels, and to the future of the franchise. In what world, when you're down by 31 points and you already have an injured quarterback ... in what world do you keep him in the game? "And don't tell me it's called football. That's called being idiotic; that's called being stubborn. That's called being too dense to realize 'Hey, the battle is already lost, but focus on winning the war.' The Commanders have completely ruined this season, and beyond just ruining this season, now we just have to hope for the health of Daniels."

Daniels' injury came on a hip-drop tackle and his left arm snapped at an odd angle. At the time, there were 7 minutes, 39 seconds remaining in the contest and Washington was trailing 38-7.

Daniels had completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 yards and an interception before exiting. After being tended to by the medical team, he walked to the locker room with a black air cast on his left elbow.

On Sunday night, Commanders coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Jayden Daniels had suffered an elbow injury against the Seahawks.

“I'm gutted by it," Quinn said of Daniels' injury. "He does have a left elbow injury — that’s what I know tonight.”

According to reports, Daniels is set to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his elbow injury.

Reports also claim that Daniels is expected to be sidelined indefinitely, but it is uncertain whether his season is over.
