James Daniels' injury—how big of a blow is this to the Steelers' playoff hopes?

Apparently, the Steelers are off to a really poor start in today’s game. They are now playing the Colts following a major injury. Yes, you heard correctly. James Daniels, who only moments before appeared to have fallen down, may not be coming back today. But what precisely occurred to the guard of the Steelers?

After the vicious tackle, it appears like Daniels could not get up on his leg. He was in excruciating pain, and when he managed to get to his feet while clutching his leg, he collapsed. This is undoubtedly not ideal, and as of right now, it’s possible that he won’t even join the team today. Spencer Anderson took over as the starting right guard and has really aided his squad. The Colts were able to score the game’s first touchdown because the defense had been struggling after James Daniels’ injury.

The squad has been playing very well, and it seems like the Steelers need something spectacular to come back now. Although Spencer Anderson has been making an effort, we believe that the team as a whole has been affected by the injured player.

As if you do not know James Daniels has been carted off the field, indicating that the injury is, in fact, more serious than we thought. But, what type of injury is it?

James Daniels is suspected of suffering an ankle injury

Although no specific reports have surfaced as of now, new developments have provided fresh context. Daniels is currently experiencing excruciating pain in his lower left leg. Medical personnel believe the guard may not be able to walk correctly because of an injury to his ankle. Given that no one can bear their entire weight for even a brief period of time on an injured ankle, one can only imagine what Daniels went through.

Have an interesting take?

These reports seem to indicate that this injury is more on the serious front, which might keep the guard out for weeks. This is a difficult time for the Colts since, as everyone knows, they sorely need new practices and plans with Spencer Anderson in order to perform well in the next games. Only time will tell us how the team is going to counter this sudden problem and deliver the same dominant performance as they did in the first three games.
