Updating a previous report, Daniel is expected to assume a backup role to begin the season if rookie Carson Wentz is healthy enough to play, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Vikings trade for Sam Bradford originally appeared to clear the way for Daniel to take over starting duties in Week 1, as he was Bradford's backup on the depth chart. However, the Eagles appear to be skipping the middle man and handing the keys to the offense over to their first-round draft pick right away. Daniel could still see the field if Wentz struggles early on or if he suffers some sort of setback from the rib injury he's currently dealing with.
