Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels will
reportedly miss the remainder of the season because of a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Daniels was hurt during Sunday's game against Buffalo while running a pass
route and underwent tests Monday.
The Houston Chronicle said Monday that Daniels will need season-ending
surgery because of the injury.
Daniels, a Pro Bowl selection last season, has helped the Texans to a 5-3
record. He leads the Texans with five touchdown receptions to go along with
519 yards and 40 catches.
Over 54 career games -- all with the Texans -- the 6-foot-3, 245-pound Daniels
has amassed 2,501 yards and 15 touchdowns on 207 receptions.
