James Daniels Injury: 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.

Daniels missed all but the first four games of the 2024 campaign due to an Achilles tear, though he did start in 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, Daniels' presence projects as a notable boost for Miami's needy offensive line. He's capable of starting at either guard position as well as potentially at center.
