Daniels’ Elbow Recovery and Decision-Making Leave Return Unconfirmed

Jayden Daniels has practiced on a limited basis after an elbow dislocation, but no return date or full clearance is confirmed; Marcus Mariota remains the backup. Quinn responded to Kurt Warner’s concern that Daniels passes up tight-window throws, acknowledging hesitation can happen in some games while praising Daniels’ accuracy and saying the offense has things to adjust; he announced no concrete changes. Analysis also cites Daniels’ low turnover-worthy-play rate alongside a 39.2% pressure rate and low big-time-throw rate.
