Daniels visited specialists in New York and Los Angeles this week for additional evaluations.
Multiple opinions led to the decision to avoid surgery and pursue non-surgical treatment with a brace.
Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed multiple specialist consultations and called the news "a great bit of news for him and for us."
Daniels is ruled out for Week 3 and will wear a brace during recovery.
The Commanders must decide whether Daniels travels to London for Week 4; Washington leaves Tuesday night.
The team will work through a return-to-play progression and monitor practice reps when he returns.
