What it means:
Per the report, the veteran QB's deal is for $2.25 million. The 35-year-old is thus slated to remain Justin Herbert's top backup in 2022. In that capacity, Daniel did not attempt a pass last season.

Daniel was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
What it means:
The quarterback tested positive for the virus last week and missed the Chargers' Week 16 loss to the Texans. Daniel will return to his role as the primary reserve behind starter Justin Herbert in Week 17 against the Broncos.

Daniel has been placed on the Chargers' reserve/COVID-19 list, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
What it means:
Daniel reportedly tested positive per, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports. If he is unable to clear the league's health and safety protocols by Sunday, Easton Stick would be in line to back up Justin Herbert under center.

Daniel dealt with tingling in his right arm after getting hit on the elbow while being sacked during Saturday's preseason contest against the Seahawks, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
What it means:
Daniel drew the start in the preseason finale and remains the favorite to operate as Justin Herbert's primary backup during the regular season. The 34-year-old completed nine passes for 70 yards during the contest as the Chargers' offense was shutout. The injury does not appear to be all that serious as coach Brandon Staley said there should be no long-term issues.

Daniel will start Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
What it means:
Daniel will close out the preseason with another start while Justin Herbert watches from the bench. Easton Stick drew the start during last weekend's exhibition matchup against the 49ers, but Daniel remains the favorite to operate as Herbert's top backup during the regular-season opener against Washington on Sept. 12.
