CJ Daniels News, Rumors, Updates - Miami (FL) Hurricanes

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

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.

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.

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 reeled in his fourth and fifth touchdowns of the year, and though he still just averages 5.4 targets per game, he's made the most of his opportunities. Daniels and Malachi Toney are clearly the top options in the Hurricanes' receiver room.
