Buccaneers Rookie Daniels Set for Second Cowboys Start

With Tampa Bay starting 0-4, rookie Jalon Daniels is set to make his second NFL start against Dallas while Baker Mayfield recovers from a dislocated thumb, an injury that could sideline him for three to six weeks. The undrafted Daniels spent six seasons at Kansas and, in his first start against Green Bay, showed his mobility with 55 rushing yards on eight carries, though he also made mistakes as a passer. One preview points to Dallas’ struggles against mobile quarterbacks as a potential opportunity for Daniels to contribute on the ground. Easton Stick is expected to back up Daniels.
