Commanders QB Daniels: Rib Injury Tests
The Washington Commanders are holding their breath as they await the results of tests on quarterback Sam Howell's injured ribs. Howell took a nasty hit in the Commanders' preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, leaving the game early and raising concerns about his status for the upcoming season.
Rib injuries can be tricky. Sometimes they're just a little bruised, but other times they can be serious enough to sideline a player for weeks, if not months. It's hard to say how severe Howell's injury is until the team gets the results of the tests.
Howell's injury couldn't have come at a worse time. With the regular season just around the corner, the Commanders need their young quarterback to be healthy and ready to go. The team's already facing some challenges, including a tough schedule and a new offensive coordinator. They can't afford to lose their starting quarterback to a long-term injury.
The Commanders are keeping their fingers crossed. They're hoping that the tests come back positive and that Howell's injury is minor. But even if he's able to play, he'll likely be dealing with some pain and discomfort. The Commanders will need to make sure they have a solid backup plan in place, just in case.
Stay tuned for updates on Howell's status. The Commanders will be providing more information as it becomes available. And as a Commanders fan myself, I'm crossing my fingers for a speedy recovery for Howell. Go Commanders!
