Steelers lose another starter on offensive line; RG James Daniels out for the season with an Achilles tear

The bad news just keeps on coming for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as starting right guard James Daniels is out for the season with a torn Achilles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports. Daniels left with what was originally noted as an ankle injury suffered in the first quarter and was subsequently ruled out with the injury.

Daniels is the third offensive lineman to suffer a season-ending injury in just over a month, starting with projected starting center Nate Herbig in late August, followed by rookie Troy Fautanu ahead of Week 3.
