Phillip Daniels is done for the season, Buzbee also hurt (updated)

Hopefully its just like a sprain, I guess we'll find out this afternoon...that would be a seroius blow to the dline.

DO NOT need a year of Daniels........nicked up.

Not a good way to start but hopefully it's not too serious.

It highlights our need for more depth there. My guess is we'll be bringing in camp cuts and hoping for the best. We need Daniels healthy, but that right there shows our weakness. It's not like Daniels has been healthy lately, and he's not a young guy.

i'm really not to concerned about it. i feel bad for daniels but he was average at best. it's time for someone else to step in there and get the job done.

Initially it doesn't sound too bad-hyperextension/sprain per JLC.. Remember last year we lost Samuels for the entire preseason in the first week of practice and he went to the Pro Bowl.. Let's keep the faith and a positive thought!

I agree that he wasn't an All-Pro, but he was an unquestioned starter and leader. Someone else will undoubtedly get a chance, but losing our strongest and beefiest end so early is not good.

I don't think this is an omen or '06 all over again. Its simply bad luck, football is a contact sport and people get hurt. Hopefully its just a sprain, but it happening so early is good because it gives him time to heal and the Skins time to plan. No woe is me talk after the first session of training camp please.

Welllll, if the worst happens. At least the timing is good

The only problem with the first part of your comment was the last part.

Daniels hasnt impressed me much... if any, however when we are running low on DE (and we knew this going into the draft) its hard to take even a small injury for any amount of time.

Phillip Daniels' effectiveness against the rush is so underapperciated. If you're playing with a DE who can't contain the run, your pretty much f***ed. Teams will run at that side all day long. Our run defense was as good as anyones last year and I obviously don't want to see that change. We can't afford a downgrade at that position. Get well soon Phillip!
