Although the quarterback passes with his right arm, the injury has placed his season uncertain. The injury was significant enough that the television broadcast avoided showing repeats and several players turned away as he was attended to by team doctors.
Criticism and Coach’s Response
Coach Quinn faced criticism as numerous felt the rookie ought not to have been on the field in the first place. The injury happened in the final period with the Commanders behind 38-7, making a comeback improbable. It is common in such situations for teams to insert their backup quarterback to avoid injuries to their starter.
“I understand. I’ve been reflecting about it constantly, too, and, wow, I missed it,” Quinn said of his decision to keep Jayden in the match. “That is 100% on me.”
Aftermath and Squad Prospects
Marcus Mariota will be the Commanders’ starting quarterback from now on, but he will lead a team in turmoil.

They also lost cornerback Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and wide receiver McCaffrey (collarbone fracture) on Sunday, and have a number of other key players on injured reserve. The Commanders are three wins and six losses so far, and it would take a huge turnaround for the club to reach the playoffs.
