Nearly silent as 'Canes move on Daniels tallied two catches for 29 yards during Saturday's 10-3 win over Texas A&M.

Impact Daniels was held in check, as was most of Miami's offense as the Hurricanes won a defensive battle in College Station to advance in the playoff. Miami passed for just 103 yards, so it's no wonder Daniels was unable to get anything going. This was easily the lowest passing output the 'Canes have produced this season, so they figure to get back on track in the Orange Bowl against Texas Tech.

Out once again Saturday Daniels (lower leg) did not play during Saturday's matchup against North Carolina State.

Questionable for Saturday Daniels (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Syracuse, per the ACC availability report

Impact Daniels, who missed Week 10 due to an undisclosed injury, is now questionable for Saturday's contest due to that same injury. The news is slightly surprising considering head coach Mario Cristobal said Monday that he expected Daniels to miss a couple of weeks. Prior to his injury Daniels caught 33 passes (on 43 targets) for 351 yards and six touchdowns, so the Hurricanes will hope to have him back as soon as possible.

To miss more games Head coach Mario Cristobal said Monday that Daniels (undisclosed) will likely be out for a couple of weeks, Christy Cabrera Chirinos of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Daniels missed Miami's overtime loss to SMU with an undisclosed injury, and the issue will prevent him from suiting up for a Week 11 clash with Syracuse, at the minimum. After Syracuse, Miami has three games remaining. With Daniels sidelined, look for Keelan Marion, Joshua Moore or Tony Johnson to step up.

Impact Daniels, who popped up on Friday's report as questionable, will have his status for Saturday's game decided during pregame warmups. He's caught 33 passes for 351 yards and six touchdowns so far this season, so it would be a big blow for the Hurricanes if he's unable to play.

Impact Daniels is a surprise late addition to the Hurricanes' injury report ahead of Saturday against the Mustangs. Daniels has yet to miss a game this season and has been one of Miami's top receivers with 33 catches for 351 yards and six touchdowns in 2025.

Scores to salvage stat line Daniels compiled three receptions (on five targets) for eight yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-7 victory over Stanford.

Impact Daniels' three catches and eight yards were both season lows for the wideout, but he managed to put together a somewhat respectable outing by catching a touchdown. Miami's passing game was quiet even in a 42-7 rout over Stanford, so there's not too much to read into with his diminished output here. Daniels will look to get back on track against SMU.

Daniels remains a top option in the passing game for Miami, but he's firmly behind true freshman Malachi Toney.
