Steelers Announce Devastating News Following Loss To The Colts
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler:
Steelers starting guard James Daniels suffered an Achilles tear Sunday against Indy, per source.
He will be out for the season. Tough blow for a steady starter up front.
He left after the sixth play of the Steelers’ offense in Week 4. It was reported on CBS that the veteran guard had injured his ankle and was questionable to return.
Prior to halftime, the Steelers ruled Daniels out of the game.
This is Daniels’ third year with the team. In his first two seasons in Pittsburgh, he missed only two games.
According to journalist Dave Holcomb:
During the 2022 regular season, every Steelers starting offensive lineman played at least 96% of the team’s snaps. The completely healthy unit helped the Steelers turn around their season after a 2-6 start.
The team’s offensive line is more talented and possesses more depth than two years ago. But the line cannot catch a break on the injury front.
Daniels began his career as the No. 39 overall pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft for the Chicago Bears. He started 10 games as a rookie and then assumed a full-time starter role in 2019.
After four seasons with the Bears, Daniels signed a 3-year, $26.5 million contract. During his first season in the aforementioned 2022 campaign, he played every single snap for Pittsburgh.
