Daniels has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals after getting his left knee scoped, the Baltimore Sun reports. "As the week went on, his knee wasn't progressing the way we wanted it to, so we went ahead and did a cleanup procedure," coach John Harbaugh noted of Daniels' knee issue on Friday. As a result, Crockett Gillmore will start at tight end for the Ravens in Daniels' place on Sunday, at a minimum. While Harbaugh won't rule out Daniels for Week 9's game against the Steelers just yet, he acknowledged that that the veteran tight end will be week-to-week beyond this weekend's contest.

Daniels (knee) is not practicing Friday, the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson reports. Offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak said Thursday that Daniels is "fine," though the tight end's absence Friday - his third straight day of missed practice - seems to cast some doubt on Kubiak's analysis. The Ravens will release their official injury designations later Friday.

Though Daniels (knee) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, at this stage, he is expected to play Sunday against the Bengals, the Baltimore Sun reports. Supporting that notion is that offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak said Thursday that Daniels is "fine," though a return to practice by the tight end -- in any capacity -- would no doubt be of comfort to his fantasy owners. Crockett Gillmore is next in line for TE work in the Ravens' offense should Daniels be limited at all this weekend.

Daniels (knee) did not practice Thursday, Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports. More on Daniels' status Friday, but his absence Thursday clouds his status in advance of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Next up for the Ravens' TE snaps if Daniels is out or limited at all this weekend, is Crockett Gillmore.

Daniels (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Ravens' official site reports. Though it's not unusual for Daniels to get days off for rest purposes these days, a knee issue is cited for his absence Wednesday, so his Week 8 status is worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Daniels caught 6-of-9 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-7 win over the Falcons. Daniels had his first big game since Dennis Pitta (hip) suffered a season-ending injury, even though Joe Flacco attempted just 25 passes. The Ravens haven't had to throw very often since Week 1, but there's still been a decent number of targets available, as Daniels, Steve Smith and Torrey Smith have dominated Flacco's attention.

Daniels (not injury related) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Daniels has been solid in place of the injured Dennis Pitta and will be looking to get back in the end zone for the first time since hitting pay dirt twice in Week 2.

Daniels caught 2-of-3 targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 48-17 win over the Buccaneers. Joe Flacco only attempted 29 passes, with eight different players getting multiple targets. Daniels has done solid work since taking over for Dennis Pitta (hip) as the top tight end, but he only has 11 receptions for 147 yards on 16 targets over the three-game stretch. It probably won't be long before he finds the end zone again, and he still seems to be the second or third option in the passing game, though that may only translate to 5-6 targets per week.

Daniels caught 5-of-7 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Colts. Daniels was one of the few bright spots for the Baltimore offense, which managed just 287 yards and 13 points against a questionable Indianapolis defense, after lighting it up in three consecutive games. While he has yet to break out since Dennis Pitta (hip) suffered a season-ending injury, Daniels does appear to be the second or third option in Baltimore's passing game, which has still been solid on the whole this season. Daniels has nine receptions and 13 targets in two games since assuming the starting role, and while he hasn't scored since Week 2, both Flacco and offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak typically like to target their tight ends in the red zone.

Daniels caught four passes for 43 yards on six targets in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Panthers. With Dennis Pitta (Hip) out for the season, Daniels played the vast majority of offensive snaps, until the Ravens went run-heavy at the end. The veteran tight end finished second on the team in targets and receptions, trailing only Steve Smith's 10 and seven, respectively. Daniels should stay heavily involved in the passing game, as he represents his team's lone receiving threat at tight end.
