Time to move on from Golson. He's just not built to play in the NFL.

Everyone might want to climb off the ledge. Golson was one of several players that left with soft-tissue injuries related to dehydration and/or fatigue.

The far scarier information is that James Conner has a shoulder injury that requires further evaluation :uhoh:

Cold blooded comment by Tomlin in the linked article

Tomlin was asked if it’s frustrating to him to see the cornerback get injured again.“Not for me, I’m sure it is for him,”

[Iron Steeler]

damn i really wanted to see this guy play

[ALLD]

Please do not draft anymore midgets, not even as KRs.

[BlackAndGold]

Please do not draft anymore midgets, not even as KRs.

Have zero proof his size is causing these injuries.

It's just bad luck, some players just don't respond to the NFL workload.

[steelreserve]

Are you shitting me?

Well, time to fall back on your college degree. I hope he didn't major in Communications.

Yea nobody seemed worried about the situation other than this is yet another year he got hurt.

[DesertSteel]

I didn't see that coming!!

I'm surprised he made it to the first day in pads! Meet State Farm insurance newest agent, Senquez Golson.

Man this guy gets hurt more than I do and, I'm 49.

[steelerdude15]

Is it bad to say that I had a feeling some type of injury was going to occur with him?

[Mojouw]

Guys, he either pulled/tweaked a muscle or cramped up by all accounts that are so far available. This is significantly different than a torn labrum in his shoulder and a lisfranc injury to his foot (that I feel like someone said was from stepping in a hole).

Now, all are unfortunate for the player and frustrating for the fans/team to fail to realize a return on the investment of a 2nd round draft pick. But these are far from being solely attributable to his size, a signal of a fragile player (see Woodley, Lamaar; Romo, Tony), or based only on current information - the start of another "lost" season for Golson.

When he has been on the field/practice, he has consistently impressed coaches and teammates by the reports that are easy to find on the internet. Remember, the Steelers didn't give up on Spence, Dangerfield, and a few other oft injured players.

I'm not really certain why everyone wants to write Golson off and kinda freak out after a hamstring injury. Most of us are probably at the point in our lives where we tweak a hammy doing yardwork on a hot day.

Perhaps because the front office and coaching staff have been poor mouthing his prospects

“Last year I sat here and said we would view him as an extra draft pick and unfortunately we can’t do that right now,” Colbert said of Golson, who missed his first two seasons with shoulder and foot injuries. “Again, through no fault of his own, he has been injured two years in a row and in all honesty, I worry about a defensive back coming off of a foot injury because you don’t know what he’s going to be like and we won’t know until we get into the OTAs and mini-camps, and things of that nature.

“So, I hope he does for his sake, for our sake, but it’s less predictable at this point because we’re dealing with two injuries. And two years off, I don’t think you can minimize not playing for two seasons. You have to get back. He has to re-learn a lot of football and his body has to re-learn a lot of football movement.”

[Carnell] Lake did not sound so excited about Golson, who hasn’t played a game of any kind — regular season or preseason — since he was drafted. And his two-year absence from the game because of injuries has caused the Steelers to have little hope he can help the secondary.

Golson missed all of last season with a Lisfranc foot injury, and Lake said he “would expect to see some drop off [in speed] there. I hope between now and start of training camp he goes home and really works on that aspect of his game. We need that.”

It would be bad if you assumed he would be healthy and not incur an injury. ThAts what would be bad.

You win championships by being consistent and healthy. Folsom is consistently unhealthy. Doesn't matter what the type of injury it is, if he's not on the field it's a waste.

I agree with all of that. I fully expect Golson to get cut before the end of the pre-season. But I am not going to freak out over a tweaked hammy on Day 3 or whatever of camp. I still argue that Conner's injury - whatever it was/is is far more serious of a concern for me than Golson's bum wheel.

[steelreserve]

I hope it's nothing serious, but then again, you'll remember that Duce Staley's hamstring tweak was basically career-ending. Same with Woodley.

No, I'm not saying hamstring injuries are suddenly the most dangerous thing in pro sports, but in a situation like this you kind of wonder what it's going to be next.

Agree about Conner being of more serious concern since a shoulder can lead to serious time off as well as being a recurring problem, along with Conner having a future with this team as the expected back to replace Willliams and give Bell some plays off

But I do not recall players usually needing to go back to Pittsburgh for further tests for a tweaked muscle, unless the trainers are like some of us on the board who assume any injury to Golson is presumably serious and needs to be treated accordingly

I see that too. Super strange sounding but that's the problem with reports in the social media age. Just get a few sentences with no context or analysis. Is it out of ordinary? Is it normal? Precautionary? Just no follow up. As long as you get it first nothing else seems to matter.

Hopefully good news on all injury fronts over the next several days.

Ps. he has a lot of ball action going on there and glad he always had his head in the game even from the sideline.

[AtlantaDan]

This from Gerry Dulac of the P-G on Golson

Gerry Dulac - He has a tear of the hamstring that's going to keep him out for a couple weeks.

http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2017/08/02/Gerry-Dulac-Steelers-chat-8-2-17/stories/201708020141

Probably good news for Willie Gay

[BlackAndGold]

Few weeks? he's done.

[Mojouw]

If he can play and play well in even 2 preseason games he has a path to the 53.

Is he practice squad eligible?

Still, doesn't look good.

State Farm agent Golson.

[BurghBoy412]

State Farm agent Golson. He's more of a Farmer's Insurance guy. Bum bada Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum :asskick:

[ALLD]

His NFL career is over. Can't get on the field. Has he ever played in a game?

[Iron Steeler]

Ahhh this sucks.... I really felt like he would have been the honey badger 2.0

[Mojouw]

This team is not really oozing DB talent. If the hammy heals up and if he finishes preseason strong, who keeps him off the roster?

i know that's a ton of ifs....

[DesertSteel]

How much money has he made? A couple million? Not bad for zero work.

[Dwinsgames]

just not sure how you keep a guy on the roster who has contributed nothing in 3 years regardless of his draft slot , I mean this training camp may have been his most active to date and he had what 1 padded practice ? ( whatever it is its minuscule )

meanwhile mini mouse Hilton has been busting his hump and making plays

[steelreserve]

It seems highly likely that by the end of Golson's career, I will have appeared in exactly as many professional football games as he has.

[43Hitman]

It seems highly likely that by the end of Golson's career, I will have appeared in exactly as many professional football games as he has.You may be right, lol. I've been holding out hope that he'll be able to return and make some contributions. Looks like that thought is dying a slow death though.

[86WARD]

Use his roster spot for another WR...lol. Waste.

[Shoes]

*In three years with the Steelers, he’s participated in seven practices, finishing only five of them.*


This guy needs to disappear, like now.

[Mojouw]

Why cut him now? There is no benefit to moving him off the roster now. There is no CB hanging out on the street right now that is better than a healthy Golson could be.

Now if he (this is more than somewhat doubtful) returns to health and performs well in preseason action, the team may realize some value from Golson's draft cost.

If Golson is still dinged up and not performing at a high level come cut-down time, then sure -- turn him loose.

Because he is useless, all Golson has proved is he'll never make it out of training camp healthy. Seven practices in three years and only finishing five! The guy hasn't been hit in three years, what a joke!

That all may be true - but it is literally costing the team nothing to keep him around and roll the dice that he recovers and stays healthy.

If this was the final 53 man roster, then it is really a serious consideration to cut Golson. But rosters are at like 900 guys right now.

Exactly right. Now, when the first round of cuts comes along, that may be the time to think about whether we want to continue banging our heads against this wall with Golson, or try out someone that another team let go.

If we wait until the final 53, I doubt there's any chance a new pickup would even get on the field this year given how we handle things. So partway through training camp would be when it would make sense to make a move if we're going to. That's close enough that I don't think there's even time for Golson to prove anything one way or another.

Sucks that he actually made it to the practice field and the PUP list is not an option, because that would be the perfect thing to buy time in a situation like this. But the more this drags on, the more it looks like he's unlikely to play this year either (again, given how we handle things, he's probably not going to miss most of training camp and then get on the field in regular season games without having played in one before). So why not bring in someone and see if they can at least be fit for spot duty? While we gain nothing by releasing Golson this very minute, I would be surprised if we don't cut our losses and move on in the next couple weeks. I don't think we've been doing our planning for the season figuring he'll play much of a part in it.

[SteelMember]

I think given his historical progress, if we give him 2 more years, he might make it to some regular season action...


:sarcasm:

[lipps83]

Just let him go, for his own safety. Let's say he makes it to a game.....he isn't leaving that game without needing a full body cast. Then the Steelers are stuck with him for another year on IR.

Better to cut losses as soon as possible. I don't care how much of a 'glimpse' at being good he can shine now, he can't play without risking death at this point.

Well Keith, I think he made that loud and clear. This guy seem slow on absorbing reality...kind of like playing the cheats.

[ALLD]

Pull the Band-Aid off quickly and cut him. He is too much of a distraction and taking a valuable roster spot from somebody who can at least get on the field. He had more than enough chances for somebody who should have never been drafted in the first place.

He had more than enough chances for somebody who should have never been drafted in the first place.We kept him this long and might as well see if he can actually make a preseason game and see if he shows anything. Besides cuts are not needed now to after the last preseason game.

[Steeldude]

Time to move on from Golson. He's just not built to play in the NFL.

He's not built to play anything.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

He's not built to play anything. Maybe he has super powers like Mr Glass and knows how to beat the Patriots.

[ALLD]

He might be good at Madden NFL, but he isn't any prospect to build a team around.

[Iron Steeler]

Just want to see this kid play... so much hype and nochsnce to play...its a shame
