Steelers’ Ladarius Green out of OTAs after ankle surgery

Ladarius Green’s 2015 season with the Chargers was cut short by an ankle injury, and the ankle continues to hold him back now in Pittsburgh.

Green, a tight end who signed with the Steelers in March, is missing the start of Organized Team Activities because of surgery on the ankle. Green said he isn’t sure when he’ll be back, but he is expected to participate in training camp.

“I just want to see if I can prove it to myself that I can go out there and be the best,” Green told ESPN.

The Steelers presumably knew the status of Green’s injured ankle when they signed him, and so this is likely not a major concern. But it bears watching to see how long into training camp they’ll have to wait for their offense to be at full strength.

Why wait until now to have the surgery? If it was an issue last season, he should've had it done when the season was over. Let's hope that he's back by training camp.

I'm guessing that they wanted to see how the ankle responded to treatment and rehab. It probably wasn't healing at the pace they were comfortable with, so surgery was the option.

I think that Green had his surgery before signing with the Steelers.And yes he will be back for the training camp.

That definitely makes more sense but I'm curious as to why we're only hearing about it now. I don't recall reading anything prior to this about him having ankle surgery. Maybe I just forgot about it.

I had seen it after that Green has signed with us.
