Early returns on new Pittsburgh Steelers right guard James Daniels, signed in free agency to a three-year deal worth more than $26 million, have not been very promising, to say the least.
Throughout training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Daniels has struggled in 1-on-1 and team settings, and hasn’t looked like that solidifying piece in the trenches that former GM Kevin Colbert was hoping for when he moved quickly to sign the 24-year-old offensive lineman with more than 50 career starts on the interior in Chicago.
Those concerning early returns continued Saturday night in the Steelers’ preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium.
