Injury updates from the Ravens game?

[Psycho Ward 86]

anyone know the status of velasco, decastro, keisel, adams, beachum, and bell? cant find anything

[Seven]

I haven't heard anything about any of them.

Bell is trending on Yahoo right now but I don't know why. Doesn't appear to be anything new about his injury.

[Craic]

On Bell:


The Steelers did not update Bell's status Friday, but all indications point toward him being OK.Bell took to Twitter to provide some information.
“I just wanna thank everyone for the txts and tweets...I am okayy! thanks for all your concern, I really appreciate it!,” Bell tweeted.
Dwyer said he talked to Bell Friday when the team met at the practice facility, and said Bell was in good spirits.
“We joked around about it,” Dwyer said. “We were talking about how he sacrificed his body for the team. You forget about the game there and think about life. Thank God he is OK.”

Sorry PW... that's all I could find, but at least he seems okay.

Geeez somebody sacrifice virgin or something.

[Mistah Q]

This is comical.

Normally I wouldn't grumble about something like this but the officials are really culpable here for not awarding that TD *and* not calling a penalty for helmet-to-helmet. Sure the "play doesn't proceed if a helmet comes off" rule makes sense... but he was midair, where he landed was still a TD... even if not the penalty should have made it 1st and goal. Now because of some shitty refs, we got this...

[salamander]

Fuck these fucking o-line injuries. What the fuck.

[Count Steeler]

Another burned season due to injuries. That just sucks. Again.

[zulater]

I had a feeling Velsaco's injury was bad, but not this bad! :frusty:
So do they put Beachum back at center if he can play, or who? :noidea:

[Hindes204]

Well........shit

[Count Steeler]

I had a feeling Velsaco's injury was bad, but not this bad! :frusty:

I guess they see if Eric Olsen gets up to speed in 10 days. Is Beachum ready to play? Haven't heard his injury status.

[zulater]

btw Fernando never missed a game as a Titan. There truly is a curse with Steeler offensive lineman. :wtf:

[Hawkman]

oh shit ..............

No kidding!! Two centers on IR. How many times has that ever happened.

[zulater]

Olsen is going to be a reserve hopefully. Guy's never played an NFL down.

[Count Steeler]

Olsen is going to be a reserve hopefully. Guy's never played an NFL down.

So Wallace gets the call if Beachum is not able to go. And, dare I say it, Adams at LT? Hope Ben is able to sleep the night before the Dolphins game. He'll probably have some nightmares.

[st33lersguy]

No way we win out with the scabs we have left at O-line, maybe we are better off playing for Lewan and hoping he isn't made of glass like all the guys we have on the O-line now

[Hawkman]

Guess Ben will be getting the ball out, even quicker.:Cry:

[Dwinsgames]

no thank you to the bold ....

last thing this team needs is a dirty player who is not much of a human being either .....

Cyrus Kouandjio should be the target if going for a LT IMO

I foresee a Wake of problems against Miami

Yep,

stick a fork in us. Sigh.

1 second give or take.


and hot damn...well i was nearly ready to throw the towel in after losing to the ravens, but now i think im going to have to do it.

too bad my love for the steelers wont let me stop rooting for them. fight on boys :(

[NCSteeler]

Game over , let's start figuring out the draft. What a damn mess our o line will be now when they were just starting to get it together.

[fansince'76]

btw Fernando never missed a game as a Titan. There truly is a curse with Steeler offensive lineman. http://www.steelersuniverse.com/forums/images/smilies/wtf.gif

Another great result of the NFL's new "safety" rules. If they had made the right call and Bell's TD had been allowed to stand, chances are this wouldn't have happened. :mad2:

[GoSlash27]

I hate to say it, but I think this will finish our season.

[katmandu]

anyone know the status of velasco, decastro, keisel, adams, beachum, and bell? cant find anythingThey're all "injury prone" like Willie Colon. :rolleyes: Get rid of all of them. :rolleyes:

[Steelman]

Maybe we should be glad we didn't force overtime on Thursday. If we had, it woulda been real ugly. Our guys were dropping like flies in that last 5 minutes.

Butler quit the team before his first practice. Must have gotten the word that "you're not safe as a Steelers O-linemen.

it is almost getting borderline funny ( in an off beat comedy way )

DeCastro questionable for Sunday against Dolphins


right guard David DeCastro, one of the league's highest-rated offensive linemen, is questionable for the Dolphins game Sunday because of a left foot sprain.
DeCastro's injury is more severe than first thought following the Steelers' 22-20 loss Thursday in Baltimore, when he played every offensive snap.
Left tackle Kelvin Beachum (sprained left knee) is also questionable, and backup Mike Adams (ankle) also might not be ready for the Dolphins game. If neither can go, Guy Whimper would start at left tackle.
If Beachum, Adams and DeCastro can't play, the only other available Steelers offensive lineman is the just-signed Eric Olsen, who has yet to practice with them.
With centers Maurkice Pouncey and Fernando Velasco both out for the season, Cody Wallace is expected to make his first Steelers start at center.

I don't disagree with you, but who knows what kind of shape he's in after being unemployed for two months?

The Steelers may not have much of a choice regardless.

[Hawkman]

The Steelers have signed center/guard David Snow, it was announced today.

Snow (6-4, 303) was originally signed by the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted rookie free agent out of the University of Texas on April 30, 2012. He was released by the Bills on August 31, 2012 and spent the rest of the season on and off the Bills’ practice squad and active roster, starting two of five games played last season at center. Snow has not been on an NFL roster since being released by Buffalo on August 30, 2013.

[Dwinsgames]

sounds like Chukki O may as well have been the signing but at this time of year you are not going to actually pluck guys off the street that are household names ...

I would however of preferred to see them raid the practice squads of other teams for guys who you at the very least could expect to be in football shape

He will either get hurt going to his physical and be placed on IR, or he will quit the team right before getting on the plane.

Jesus Christ.

So what's the line going to look like? Whimper/Foster/Wallace/Olsen/Gilbert?

Good night sweet prince.

I would MUCH rather see Long brought up from the PS to start at LT ......

still bothered they did not pilfer other teams practice squads and instead signed guys who have not played or practiced a down in a year over guys in football shape

I agree. I'd rather see Long/Foster/Wallace/Whimper/Gilbert. Might as well give the kid a shot. Whimper might be a safer bet at LT, but starting two guys who just got here inside makes even less sense to me.

[Dwinsgames]

Olsen was a C at ND , he may start there with Wallace at G even ... but still its like winning second prize at a beauty contest with just 2 contestants and the winner had her head shaved to remove an aneurism a week ago

[zulater]

I hate to say it, but if Beachum can't go I'd rather Adams stay injured and let Whimper play. Watching the game on NFL rewind and paying special attention to Adams and he still sucks. Even in limited snaps he stood out like a sore thumb. Two biggest pressures Ben got, including a low hit by Suggs, both came as a result of Adams getting beat.

Oh god, absolutely. Adams might be the worst pass protector in the league. I'd be much more confident in Whimper.

damn. this must be comedy gold for every non-steelers fan reading this.

DeCastro is also questionable. Whimper would take his spot and Adams would have to go at LT. Ugh.

At least with DeCastro playing that free's up Whimper to replace Adams after he's given up his 3rd sack before the 2nd quarter is even out.
