Daniels (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old suffered a groin injury during Pittsburgh's Week 3 win over the Raiders, and it seems as if the injury is more severe than the team originally thought. With Daniels missing time, backup lineman Nate Herbig is expected to get the nod at right guard this coming Sunday.

The Steelers are a team in transition after the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. Regardless of who his successor is, the team still has RB Najee Harris, WR Diontae Johnson and TE Pat Freiermuth to lean on.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Daniels spent the first four seasons of his career in Chicago but is in line to serve as the Steelers' starting right tackle in 2022 after he signed a three-year contract with the team in March.
The Bears drafted Daniels in the second round of the 2018 draft, and he was a solid contributor to the line until suffering a chest injury in 2020 that caused him to miss the last three months of the season. He should move right back into the starting lineup this season, and continue as a strong contributor along the line.
