Washington's playoff hopes are fading, but protecting their franchise quarterback matters more than chasing short-term wins

The Washington Commanders revealed a big injury update on QB Jayden Daniels ahead of their Week 8 matchup vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Washington Commanders will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels for Monday night's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Multiple reports state that Daniels is dealing with a low-grade hamstring strain after he suffered the injury early in the second half of their Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The trauma suffered by this fan base during the Daniel Snyder era is real, but it's time to lay the ghosts of quarterbacks past to rest.

Things did not go according to plan for the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon in their Week 7 matchup against their NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.

The Jayden Daniels-Patrick Mahomes matchup was one NFL fans circled in the spring. Will we see that matchup next week?
