We'll know more about how serious Daniels' injury is and how long he could be out on Tuesday. He's 2nd-leading receiver with 24 catches.

As McClain said, Daniels has caught 24 passes this season, for a total of 252 yards. He has also caught 3 touchdowns and his absence would likely only contribute to quarterback Matt Schaub’s struggles. His replacement, Garrett Graham isn’t horrible. He has caught 15 passes for 141 yards and three touchdowns as well.
