The Tennessee Titans acquired offensive lineman Dennis Daley and a 2024 seventh-round draft pick from the Carolina Panthers on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft. Daley has a chance to start in Week 1 against the New York Giants for the Titans. The 26-year-old was originally a sixth-round selection in 2019 by the Carolina Panthers out of the University of South Carolina. Daley is very versatile, having played both guard spots and left tackle in his three NFL seasons with the Panthers. Last year, he played left guard and started nine of 15 games. Daley should be expected to play left guard in Tennessee in 2022 next to left tackle Taylor Lewan.
Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that Dennis Daley will get the start again at left guard on Thursday night against the Houston Texans. Left guard Pat Elflein (hamstring) played 23 snaps in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints before getting injured. Daley, a sixth-round pick back in 2019, could be an upgrade over Elflein after he struggled last season and to begin the 2021 campaign. Rhule also called right guard John Miller one of the keys to beating the Saints after he came off the COVID-19 list. Carolina's offensive line could have their way with the Texans defensive line this week, making Christian McCaffrey a candidate to explode in Week 3. The Texans have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to running backs through two games in 2021.
