Dan Quinn speaks to the media before practice
Jayden Daniels spoke to the media after practice as the team prepares on a short week for a Thursday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This will be Daniels’ first time playing the Eagles, and playing in Philadelphia. He’s ready for the division road game in hostile territory, and he’s hear about their “very passionate fans”. Daniels is excited for another chance to play ball, and this will be one of the most important games of the season.
Daniels is still dealing with the lingering effects of a rib injury from last month, and he said he’s learned from some vets about recovery at this level. He’s also relying on methods he’s been using for years during his college career. He continues to say that he feels good, even after getting asked about the Steelers defense hitting him on every read option.
