  • Sources cited by Pro Football Rumors via Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda say McDaniel and GM Chris Grier may not survive the season without a turnaround.
  • Orlando Sentinel analysis identifies the home opener against the Patriots and a Sept. 18 trip to Buffalo as potential triggers for owner Stephen Ross to consider sweeping changes if losses continue.
