Carolina waived Daniel on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis

Daniel signed a contract with the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
As an undrafted rookie in 2020, Daniel failed to make the Falcons' 53-man roster. The Panthers have a vacancy at fullback after Alex Armah signed with the Saints, and Daniel is the first player that they've signed to compete for the job so far. Daniel will likely need to impress on offense and on special teams to secure a roster spot.

Daniel was waived by the Falcons on Friday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former South Dakota State Jack Rabbit faced an uphill battle to a Week 1 roster spot as he was tasked with dethroning one of the most heavily-utilized NFL fullbacks of 2019 in Keith Smith. There is certainly potential for Daniel to end up on the Falcons' 16-man practice squad in the coming days, but for now the undrafted rookie remains in limbo as Atlanta sorts out its roster construction for the start of the regular season.

Daniel signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent shortly after the 2020 NFL Draft, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daniel recorded 1,728 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns during his collegiate career at South Dakota State, but he's poised to work as a fullback in the NFL. The rookie likely will be competing for a spot on the practice squad, as Keith Smith inked a three-year extension in March.
