Top B.J. Daniels News

  • B.J. Daniels: Suspended for four weeks

    Daniels was handed a four-game suspension by the NFL on Monday, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.

    The exact details surrounding Daniels' suspension are currently unknown, but the running back hasn't been on an NFL roster since he was waived with an injury settlement by the Buccaneers in mid-August.

  • B.J. Daniels: Waived with injury settlement

    Daniels (groin) was waived with an injury settlement Tuesday, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Daniels is nursing a groin injury that prevented him from playing in the Falcons' preseason opener last Thursday. He's now free to sign with another team.

  • Falcons' B.J. Daniels: Will sit out Thursday

    Daniels (groin) will not play against Miami on Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Daniels only played in eight games last season for both Houston and Seattle, and his sample size is small: two receptions on two targets for 18 yards and zero touchdowns. Thursday was supposed to be a time to show he can make it as a depth receiver and specialist, but that will have to wait for now.

  • Falcons' B.J. Daniels: Signs with Falcons

    Daniels signed a reserve/future contract with the Falcons on Tuesday, Kelsey Conway of the team's official site reports.

    Daniels has bounced around the league since being selected in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft, spending time with the 49ers, Seahawks, Texans, Giants, and now Falcons. Originally a quarterback, Daniels has been transitioning to wide receiver/return specialist over the past few seasons. His diverse skill set could help him obtain a spot on Atlanta's 53-man roster next season.

  • B.J. Daniels: Waived by Giants on Friday

    Daniels was waived by the Giants on Friday, Jordan Raanan of NJ.com reports.

    Daniels signed on with the Giants in early May, hoping to secure a third-string spot behind Eli Manning and Ryan Nassib on the depth chart. With training camp approaching, the Giants decided to instead sign 24-year-old Logan Thomas, leaving Daniels as the odd man out.

  • Giants' B.J. Daniels: Signs with Giants

    Daniels has signed with the Giants, NJ.com reports.

    Daniels' signing with New York comes after he recently completed a tryout for the team. The Giants carried only starter Eli Manning and backup Ryan Nassib at quarterback last season, and with Nassib entering the final year of his rookie deal, Daniels will provide further competition at the position this term.

  • B.J. Daniels: Waived by Texans

    The Texans have released Daniels, the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Following the team's release of Brian Hoyer, the Texans now currently roster Brock Osweiler, Tom Savage (shoulder), and Brandon Weeden at the QB position.

  • Texans' B.J. Daniels: Makes Texans debut in Week 16

    Daniels completed 1-of-2 passes for seven yards and rushed six times for six yards in Sunday's win over the Titans.

    Daniels was signed last week and had a crash course in the offense. He mostly ran zone-read stuff and the Titans were prepared for it, but he could be utilized similarly in Week 17 against the Jaguars.

  • Texans' B.J. Daniels: Has first practice with Houston

    Daniels participated in his first practice with the Texans on Wednesday, the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Daniels, who was converted to a slot receiver and return man during his time with Seattle, is training at both wide receiver and quarterback with Houston but his main focus is at QB. If Brian Hoyer is not cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol this week, Daniels will be the top backup to Brandon Weeden in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans.

  • B.J. Daniels: Released by Seahawks

    Daniels was released by the Seahawks on Tuesday.

    Daniels suited up for four games this season, but he registered just one reception, and was deemed expendable in order to open up a roster spot for running back Bryce Brown. Daniels will be a candidate for the Seahawks' practice squad if he clears waivers.
