PITTSBURGH -- Steelers starting right guard James Daniels has an Achilles tear and will miss the remainder of the season, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.
Daniels suffered the injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-24 loss as the Indianapolis Colts' pass rush converged on qquarterback Justin Fields. In obvious pain, Daniels gripped his calf and had to be helped off the field. He was in a walking boot and using crutches in the locker room after the game.
It is the third season-ending injury for a Steelers offensive lineman.
