Mike Tomlin was in such a good mood on the first day of training camp that the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://pit.scout.com/)' coach barely gave much thought to the five injured players he had to put on the PUP list.
Placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday were QB Bruce Gradkowski (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8460260) (right shoulder), OT Mike Adams (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8460075) (back), OLB Shawn Lemon (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8460270) (Achilles strain), C Maurkice Pouncey (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8460280) (right foot sprain) and rookie CB Senquez Golson (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=8581514) (shoulder).
Pouncey is the only first-teamer among the group and Tomlin called his center's injury "very minor, maybe a couple days."
The most serious injury appears to belong to Adams, the third offensive tackle on a team that has no one else with game experience behind the starters. Adams underwent back surgery earlier in the week and will need four weeks to rehabilitate before attempting to get back on the field.
"It's been something that he's been dealing with off and on," Tomlin said. "We got it evaluated. We decided to put it behind us. He's been dealing with it off and on really the majority of the offseason." ....................
