During his first two campaigns in Pittsburgh, he missed only two contests.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers have also been missing left guard\u00a0Isaac Seumalo. But if there\u2019s any silver lining, he returned to practice in limited fashion ahead of Week 4.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers\u2019 James Daniels Suffered Significant Injury<\/h2>\n<p>During the 2022 regular season, every Steelers starting offensive lineman played at least 96% of the team\u2019s snaps. The completely healthy unit helped the Steelers turn around their season after a 2-6 start.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s offensive line is more talented and possesses more depth than two years ago. But the line cannot catch a break on the injury front.<\/p>\n<p>Daniels began his career as the No. 39 overall pick in the second round of\u00a0the 2018 NFL draft\u00a0for the\u00a0Chicago Bears.\u00a0He started\u00a010 games as a rookie and then assumed a full-time starter role in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>After four seasons with the Bears,\u00a0Daniels signed\u00a0a 3-year, $26.5 million contract. During his first season in the aforementioned 2022 campaign,\u00a0he played every single snap for Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>But after his Achilles injury, Daniels may not play another snap for the Steelers.\u00a0The 27-year-old is set\u00a0to be an unrestricted free agent next March.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Dealing With Multiple Offensive Line Injuries<\/h2>\n<p>Daniels isn\u2019t the only Steelers offensive lineman lost for the season. Rookie right tackle\u00a0Troy Fautanu\u00a0\u201ctweaked his knee\u201d on September 20 and\u00a0landed on injured reserve\u00a0the next day.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport reported on September 23 Fautanu will miss the rest of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Fautanu sat out Week 1 because of a knee injury, but he returned to start during Week 2 and was set to be the team\u2019s starting right tackle going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Seumalo suffered\u00a0a pectoral injury on August 28. Had he needed surgery to repair the muscle, he would have been out for the season as well.<\/p>\n<p>But fortunately for the Steelers,\u00a0The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\u2019s Gerry Dulac reported he didn\u2019t require surgery. Although Seumalo avoided injured reserve as well, he has yet to play this season.<\/p>\n<p>He returned to practice for the first time on September 25.<\/p>\n<p>The interior offensive line injuries for the Steelers are worse because they also lost interior offensive lineman\u00a0Nate Herbig\u00a0during the preseason.\u00a0He sustained\u00a0a torn rotator cuff on August 20.<\/p>\n<p>Herbig was competing for the team\u2019s starting center job. That responsibility fell to second-round rookie\u00a0Zach Frazier.<\/p>\n<p>Both Herbig and Frazier would probably be playing now with the loss of Seumalo and Daniels. But without Herbig too, the Steelers will need to continue turning to inexperienced guards\u00a0Spencer Anderson\u00a0and\u00a0Mason McCormick.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson is a 2023 seventh-round pick who served as a backup tackle last year. The Steelers moved him to left guard after Seumalo\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson started\u00a0the first three games this season. McCormick started at left guard on September 29 against the Colts. The Steelers drafted McCormick in the fourth round of\u00a0the 2024 NFL draft.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not starting, Anderson played most of Week 4, as he replaced Daniels.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Seumalo returns in Week 5, the Steelers will have to start either Anderson or McCormick at right guard the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyESPN&#8217;s Jeremy Fowler reported Pittsburgh Steelers right guard James Daniels will miss the rest of the season with an Achilles tendon tear.
