James Daniels - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Could play in Week 1 Daniels (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact Daniels downgraded from limited practice participation Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it appears he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Miami's regular-season opener. If the veteran offensive lineman is unable to suit up Sunday, Kion Smith is expected to step in and start at right guard.

Expects to be ready for Week 1 Daniels (Achilles) said Wednesday that he expects to be fully healthy for Week 1 of the 2025 regular season, C. Isaiah Smalls of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Daniels missed all but the first four games of the 2024 campaign due to an Achilles tear, though he did start all four of his appearances as the Steelers' top right guard. If he's indeed able to return to full health without any setbacks this offseason, Daniel's presence projects as a notable boost for Miami's needy offensive line. He's capable to starting at either guard position, as well as potentially at center.
