  • After dislocating his non-throwing elbow trying to score inside the 5-yard line on Oct. 5, Daniels returned on Dec. 7 but aggravated it after linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel shoved him.
  • This season Daniels completed 60.6% of his passes and injuries limited him to seven games with a passer rating slide from 100.1 to 88.1.
  • With Daniels sidelined, Marcus Mariota will start on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles, while Daniels remains on the active roster to practice and run scout team reps.
  • Looking ahead, Daniels said he is focused on rehab and called the injuries 'just freak accidents,' adding `I don't want to miss games at all` and `Be out there, be supportive and bring the juice and energy.
