Tight end Owen Daniels struggled to gain separation against Ravens’ safeties and linebackers. Daniels looked slow and, for a lack of a better word, old.
This was the summer of 2014 and Daniels, then a 31-year-old who had played just five games for the Houston Texans the previous year because of a broken fibula, was still getting acclimated to quarterback Joe Flacco after signing a one-year, $1 million contract with the Ravens earlier in the offseason.
Daniels missed an extensive part of training camp. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said that the veteran was dealing with general soreness.
