The Texans will place Daniels on injured reserve with the designation to return, meaning he will miss at least the next eight weeks, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Owens suffered a non-displaced fibula fracture late in Sunday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Daniels is tied for the team lead in touchdowns, having caught three scoring passes. Garrett Graham, who also has three TD catches, will replace Daniels in the starting lineup. The Texans lead the NFL in plays run using two tight ends, so Daniels' departure could also lead to the emergence of rookie Ryan Griffin, a sixth-round draft pick this year.
