First Golson goes down and now Ventrone. We can't afford injuries in this backfield.

Golson isn't even day to day, he's already on PUP list.

Maybe Golson is too small to handle the rigors of the NFL??

Hearing rumors that 2nd round pick Senquez Golson’s shoulder injury could be significant. #Steelers

That's certainly a bummer if true. Wasn't Golson very durable in college though?

Of course, because why not?

Did Golson practice yet?

I believe I read he had no injuries in college. But I wonder how much contact he experienced in Ole Miss' system.

There is no mention of surgery, so that would seem like good news, unless they are seeing if it can heal on its own, and it doesn't. If he has a torn cuff he is out all year.

Prepping them for IR? Ventrone a possible cut anyway and Golson was less than an ideal pick.

If he has a torn rotator cuff, he probably couldn't even lift his arm above his chest. There are about a million other less serious things that I'm hoping for. That would suck if he's not ready for the season ... but, good thing we drafted two guys and at least brought Blake back.

If you count safeties we actually drafted 3 DBs. It has been madness with their lack of prioritizing CB for all these years. It was like they were trying to prove they could find good ones without taking them before the 4th round or worse. This just in: That mentality was proven fail. Word is Cortex Allen got his confidence back, although I am not sure how they know that from a few days of camp. If true, and if he plays more like 2013 instead of 2014, we have an underrated Gay and Blake in the mix. We got the kid from OSU, Grant. We could be OK.

Cortez steps in front of AB comeback, picks it off. Allen making splash plays.

It sure would be nice if he returns to playing solid CB. Wow, how great would that be?

Allen playing like we hoped he would when we signed him to that big contract ... that would take care of a LOT of issues for us. Always a huge help when you can pull a quality starter out of thin air.

that was Cortez's 2nd interception in 3 days too, he cut in front of Martavis Bryant yesterday.

and yes, it certainly would help to solve a major issue in our secondary...

Fingers crossed. Could be the piece of the puzzle to solidify the D.

Good things to hear.

Sucks about Golson, though. Gotta admit, I'm not too keen on his rehab work.


What do you think, @TeeTee ?
