Daniels spent the past four seasons in Arizona, appearing in 40 games. Though he is a non-factor as a pass-catcher, Daniels is a solid blocker who gets plenty of snaps. He should rotate in for the Texans on early downs if he makes their final roster. 

Claimed off waivers in 2018, Daniels has emerged as a key blocker on offense, making eight starts in 2020. Going on 27, Daniels has only 12 career receptions, thought eight of them came last year. We still would not expect a leap in the pass-catching department. 

Daniels was already ruled out for the season finale against the Rams, so his shift to IR allowed the Cardinals to promote Drew Anderson from the practice squad since Kyler Murray (hamstring) is questionable. Charles Clay (calf) is also questionable, leaving Maxx Williams and Dan Arnold as the only healthy tight ends.

Daniels did not participate in practice all week, making it a likelihood all along that he would be held out Sunday. With Daniels out, Dan Arnold will serve as the Cardinals' No. 2 tight end behind starter Maxx Williams.
