This costly strategic blunder came one week after Denver Broncos All-Pro kick returner Marvin Mims Jr. suffered a concussion on a runback against Dallas with less than 5 minutes remaining in the Broncos’ 44-24 rout of the Cowboys.

Palmer injured his ankle and knee early in the second quarter of the team’s Week 6 loss to the Falcons. He did not return to the game and was labeled as “ week-to-week ” by head coach Sean McDermott. He did not play in Week 8 or 9.

Jayden Daniels missed his third game of the season last week after an abbreviated three-game return from a knee injury resulted in just a single win for the struggling Washington Commanders before Daniels tweaked a hamstring.

Jayden Daniels left Washington’s game against Seattle with an injury to his left, non-throwing arm. Daniels' arm bent gruesomely while he was being tackled near the goal line in the fourth quarter.

Jayden Daniels' elbow injury might not be season ending, but his status is in doubt for a SNF clash with the Broncos in Week 13.
