The collective gasps from fans still watching from the stands sucked the life out of Northwest Stadium when quarterback Jayden Daniels went down against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. His dislocated elbow was gruesome and concerning in equal measure — something that all but ended the team's chances of salvaging some semblance of respectability from the campaign.
Daniels wasn't placed on injured reserve, unlike veteran cornerback Marshon Lattimore and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey. That left some hope that he could return, but head coach Dan Quinn acknowledged that this was more about gathering information before deciding on further action than anything else.
