Washington Commanders star Jayden Daniels injured his right leg Sunday in a game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Daniels took out the pistol formation and dropped back to pass in the third quarter. He made a feint to try to fool Cowboys linebacker Shemar James, who was coming after him intact. As James tried to wrap him up, Daniels fumbled and his leg appeared to twist.

He was officially listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. Marcus Mariota took over offensive control from Daniels. Mariota threw a pick-six to Cowboys defensive back DaRon Bland.
