According to Mark Cooper of the Tulsa World, Daniels didn’t travel with the team this weekend and is expected to undergo surgery. It’s unclear the nature of the injury, though a report surfaced Saturday he had his left hand in a splint at OSU’s soccer game on Friday night.

Because Daniels played in only four games, and since he has not utilized a redshirt at OSU because he played as a true freshman, he could choose to exercise the new redshirt rule and return next season if he chooses.

Daniels had seven tackles and one sack for OSU in four games this season. He played in every game as a freshman and sophomore, but missed three last season due to an injury after making starts in each of the first 10 contests.
