Seahawks GM John Schneider said DT Tony McDaniel would likely get the first crack at replacing Alan Branch as the run-stuffing defensive tackle.

Branch, 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, started all 16 games last season and graded out in the bottom half of Pro Football Focus' defensive tackle rankings when it came to stopping the run. McDaniel is listed at 6-foot-7 and 305 pounds, and he has started just five games over his seven-year career. Seattle could look to add a defensive tackle in the draft.

The Miami Herald reports free agent DT Tony McDaniel won't re-sign with the Dolphins.

McDaniel was a valuable reserve in 2009-10, but struggled to stay healthy the past two seasons. He limped through knee and ankle issues in 2012, and notched just 11 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 11 games. An eight-year veteran, McDaniel should get a camp invite, but no guaranteed money.

Dolphins DE Tony McDaniel is expected to be sidelined a couple of weeks with the hand injury that knocked him out of Monday night's game.

McDaniel reportedly underwent a surgical procedure to aid the recovery process. The rotational end could play with a club over his hand when he returns, but that won't be until after this week's game against the Texans. The Fins are deep on the defensive line, so this won't be a major loss.
