“I feel good, feel good to be back. Just taking it day by day,” Daniels said.
Daniels is wearing a brace on his left arm that prevents him from fully extending it. However, Alper reported that the brace has not affected the quarterback’s ability to perform essential parts of his position.
“He added that it does limit him in any way when it comes to throwing or handing off and we’ll find out in the near future whether he’ll get to show off those skills this weekend.”
