Steelers' James Daniels Out for Season with Achilles Tear
The Pittsburgh Steelers face a deepening offensive line crisis as multiple key players, including James Daniels, are sidelined by injuries.
- James Daniels, the Steelers' starting right guard, sustained an Achilles tear in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.
- Daniels' injury adds to a growing list of absences on the Steelers' offensive line, including rookie right tackle Troy Fautanu and center Nate Herbig, both also out for the season.
- Left guard Isaac Seumalo has missed the first four games of the season due to a pectoral injury but is expected to return soon.
- Spencer Anderson and Mason McCormick, both young and relatively inexperienced, will be relied upon to fill the gaps in the offensive line.
- Daniels had been a consistent presence since joining the Steelers in 2022, starting 36 games over three seasons before his injury.
