James Daniels, recently signed by the Miami Dolphins for $24 million, is optimistic about being medically cleared from an Achilles injury that limited him to only four games last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Expected to meet his doctor soon, Daniels' return could significantly bolster a Dolphins offensive line that has struggled, particularly in protecting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins lost multiple players to injury during training camp, highlighting the need for stability in the offensive line. Daniels' partnership with rookie guard Jonah Savaiinaea and established tackle Austin Jackson is crucial as they work to develop cohesion before the upcoming season. Daniels noted the importance of chemistry, stating that building it takes time and consistent practice.
