Jayden Daniels injury update: Latest news on Commanders QB's status in Week 7

The Washington Commanders have been one of the most pleasant surprises in the NFL this season, and that is almost totally because of rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

But there is a concern for the standout signal-caller on Sunday, as he appeared to injure his abdomen in the first quarter of the Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers .

With the Commanders in the red zone, Daniels could be seen grasping at his abdomen after one play. That led to him being checked out in the blue medical tent, which is concerning to say the least.

Here's the latest update on Daniels.
