Pittsburgh Steelers starting right guard James Daniels has sustained a torn Achilles and will be out for the remainder of the season, ESPN reported on Monday.
Daniels suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Steelers’ 27-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He was seen in a walking boot and using crutches after the game.
Daniels, 27, has started all four games this season and 36 during parts of three seasons with Pittsburgh.
He has started 84 of the 90 games in which he has played with the Chicago Bears (2018-21) and Steelers.
Fourth-round draft pick Mason McCormick or second-year Spencer Anderson are contenders to start in place of Daniels for Pittsburgh (3-1) in Sunday night’s game against the visiting Dallas Cowboys (2-2).
