Washington QB Jayden Daniels will miss Sunday's home opener against Seattle after dislocating his left elbow. He is seeing a specialist, but coach Dan Quinn had no further medical details; safety Nick Cross is also out after surgery for an internal injury against Dallas.

Quinn said Sam Cosmi remains in concussion protocol and would need clearance by Friday to possibly play. Brandon Coleman left with a finger injury but is expected to be fine to return at left tackle. Javon Kinlaw (shoulder), Frankie Luvu (groin) and Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) are rehabbing.

Quinn said players went to the locker room because officials would not delay halftime, but returned to check on Daniels; he said they were gutted by the injury. Washington has not discussed signing a veteran quarterback, with Daniels' recovery timeline still unknown and potentially affecting that decision. Quinn said rookie Athan Kaliakmanis would back up Marcus Mariota.
