Daniels (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Daniels suffered a scary neck injury in Week 6 against the Bears, when he was stretchered off the field and transported to a local hospital. He was cleared to practice in Week 7 prep and ended up finishing with a FP-LP-FP log. Daniels is understandably not in the clear just yet, but he could be given the green light by medical staff once he goes through pregame warmups Sunday.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Out of boot
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Wednesday that Daniels is "good to go" and "out of the boot" that he was in last week, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Daniels, a 2026 fourth-round pick from Oklahoma, appeared to have picked up a lower-leg injury during Atlanta's OTAs. However, it appears he's already moved past the issue. During his final collegiate season, the 23-year-old posted 53 total tackles, including nine tackles for loss, and three passes defensed over 13 contests. Expect Daniels to play a depth role in the Falcons' linebacker corps during his rookie campaign.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Drafted by Falcons
The Falcons selected Daniels in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 134th overall.
Daniels (6-foot-5, 242 pounds) actually began his college career as a safety at Oklahoma State, where he was quite productive before transferring to Oklahoma to play linebacker. Daniels' frame is almost certainly linebacker-only at the NFL level, and his 4.79-second pro day 40 additionally ensures he will stick at linebacker for the Falcons.
