The Steelers placed Daniels on injured reserve Tuesday due to an Achilles tear, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Daniels tore his ACL during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts. The 2018 second-round pick will shift his attention toward rehab and recovery ahead of the 2025 season. Spencer Anderson is the next man up at right guard for the Steelers.
Daniels suffered an Achilles tear in Sunday's loss to the Colts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Daniels will now miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign to recover from the injury, and the Steelers will be without their starter at right guard since the 2022 season. Spencer Anderson, who filled in after Daniel's left against Indianapolis, will likely continue filling in at the position moving forward.
Daniels (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Colts, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports. Daniels exited early in the first quarter and was originally considered questionable to return. Spencer Anderson will now finish out the game at right guard.
Daniels (ankle) has exited Sunday's game against the Colts, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Daniels' exit leaves the Steelers down their starter at right guard. While he's out of action, Spencer Anderson is filling in at the position.
