New Video Reveals Alarming Detail That Could Explain Jayden Daniels’ Injury Problems
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
A new Jayden Daniels clip is making the rounds, and fans are connecting it to his injury-plagued 2025 season.
The video shows the Washington Commanders quarterback walking lethargically during team stretches and barely stretching at all.
Dov Kleiman shared the clip with the caption, “Stretching is important to prevent injuries,” asking fans to explain it.
Check it out below:
The Joke Plays Off A Rough 2025 Campaign
Daniels appeared in just seven games during his sophomore season after dealing with knee, hamstring, elbow, and ankle injuries, per NFL.com. He finished with 1,262 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions before Washington shut him down for the final stretch of the year.
That drop-off followed a stellar rookie campaign in 2024, when Daniels won Offensive Rookie of the Year and helped lead the Commanders to a 12-5 record and an NFC Championship appearance.
Daniels has already become a frequent target of ribbing this offseason.
A StubHub marketing post recently went viral for poking fun at his 2025 struggles while he works to bounce back healthy this year, racking up nearly 5 million views in the process.
Of course, there’s the more recent saga surrounding his beef with LSU.
Daniels has taken the jokes in stride. Reports from camp describe him looking sharp and fully healthy throughout August workouts.
Washington’s Offensive Line Adds Another Layer To The Joke
The timing carries extra weight because of what’s happening around Daniels on the roster. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil, the player tasked with protecting Daniels’ blind side, tore his triceps during a padded practice earlier this month and is expected to miss a significant chunk of the regular season.
Losing Tunsil puts more pressure on Washington’s remaining offensive linemen to keep Daniels upright, which only sharpens the punchline. Every hit Daniels takes this season will draw scrutiny, given how often he ended up sidelined in 2025.
Nothing in the clip itself shows Daniels getting hurt or skipping any required team activity. It’s a lighthearted moment stretched into a joke about a real concern.
Still, the reaction shows how closely fans are watching Daniels’ health as Washington tries to bounce back from a 5-12 season and get its franchise quarterback through a full 17 games in 2026.
