Frustrated Jayden Daniels Slammed Helmet After Getting Hurt Against Panthers

In this story:
Jayden Daniels suffered an injury during the Washiongton Commanders' Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers. Daniels left the game to get x-rays during the first quarter.
Daniels led the Commanders on an 11-play, 85-yard drive that resulted in a field goal that gave the Commanders a 10-0 lead over the Panthers.
