[JayC]

[salamander]

I know it's bound to happen this time of year... still sucks balls regardless.

[DesertSteel]

But hey... they're all in great shape. Football ready they say.

Bring back DeAngelo Williams if it's serious.

[steelerdude15]

It would really blow if James is hurt. Hopefully it is not too serious, but being sent back to Pittsburgh is not a good sign.

[Mojouw]

@ This point you have to figure Conner's shoulder is pretty bad.

[AtlantaDan]

@ This point you have to figure Conner's shoulder is pretty bad.

Presumably for a MRI - so much for running the wheels off Conner in preseason

As Bell says now you know why I want no part of training camp

Agreed. If I was Bell I would hold out for as long as humanly possible. I've always wondered if there are two types of holdouts. The ones that the team is actually pissed off and the one where the team has kinda "blessed" it through back-channels and really doesn't care.

With all the other backs in camp, I kinda fell like it could be a situation where no one cares that Bell isn't around?

Also, someone better dig up DWill's phone # if Conner's shoulder is exploded.

[polamalubeast]

I have problems with Bell on other things, but I have no problems with his absence, since the training camp is not very important for a veteran running back.

I would be very upset if Bell would still be absent in the regular season, but I would be very surprised if that is the case.I expect Bell to return around the 4th pre-season game.

This is not a huge story for me,his absence.

I did not get any info, but I would be very surprised if it was serious.

Or at least that the doctors did not need to amputate

I hate preseason

[steelerdude15]

Tuitt/ankle...ugh.

Apparently its not serious.

[86WARD]

Hopefully nkne of these are serious.

[steel striker]

Is it time to sign Williams at RB?

[Born2Steel]

I've yet to understand the Davis over DWill move. From the player vs player POV.

[polamalubeast]

I've yet to understand the Davis over DWill move. From the player vs player POV.

Maybe because that Davis is younger and he can return kick.

DWill returned kicks in college. Probably because he was the best player on the field, but he did it.

Yes, but he has what (33 years old?) and he never did that in the nfl I think.

P-G reporter Ray Fittipaldo not optimistic about several injuries in the secondary

Golson and Sutton have been out for a week or more and don’t appear close to returning. Neither player has done any conditioning work on the side during practices, which is usually a sign injured players are making progress....

Sutton’s rookie camp is starting to mirror what Burns went through last year....

Injuries aren’t just wreaking havoc at corner. Starting free safety Mike Mitchell exited the first practice with an injury and hasn’t practiced since.

This was the first-team defensive backfield the past few days: Robert Golden and Sean Davis at safety and Coty Sensabaugh and Cockrell at corner. And it could remain that way Friday night when the Steelers play the preseason opener against the Giants.

IT may be true that the DBs are ravaged by injuries and that it leads to several "lost" seasons or even the end of a career or two.

But did anyone else notice what was missing from Fittipaldo's piece? Not one quote from a trainer, team medical staff, unnamed staffer, etc. How hard can it be to email, text, call, stalk at the facilities, or whatever someone that actually knows the following:

1. What the team thinks the injury recovery times should be and 2. what their general level of concern is.

Wouldn't that article read better with this sentence in it:

"Team medical personnel indicated that Golson and Sutton are still a few weeks from returning, but are pleased with their progress and expect both players to be ready for the second or third preseason game."

Or whatever the actual "answer" is.

I hope in the case of Burns and/or Shazier, we will not have a bad surprise before the season like Dupree last year....

Coaches are notorious for clamping down on disclosures of injuries unless the head coach does the disclosure.

The Steelers are stuck disclosing injury status for regular season and playoff games (and are not real dedicated about that, as evidenced by Bell's groin injury going into the AFC championship game).

http://operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/2016-nfl-injury-report-policy/

They do not have to disclose anything for preseason and usually don't

[43Hitman]

I have a feeling that if this was a playoff game, 90% of those guys play.

[Hawkman]

I have a feeling that if this was a playoff game, 90% of those guys play.

I think you might be right. They know what they have with most of those guys. Probably being cautious.

WTF

[Rotorhead]

He is going to have to learn how to protect himself, that concussion hit in the preseason game was reckless. Hopefully he starts figuring out or learning from AB on how not to get himself injured. Luckily he is young so he can rebound quickly and we have a handful of other good WR's on the roster.

[polamalubeast]

898218948205916162

Thank God!

This is a relief....Everytime that a player has a knee injury, I'm afraid it's an torn ACL.

Keep Hines away from Juju! :lol:

[DesertSteel]

From the looks of that preseason game, JuJu needs to realize these are grown men that he's playing now and he can't go diving in head first. If he stays healthy, I see 50 catches for 650 yards and 5 TDs for him.

[BlackAndGold]

898292510883053568

I was worried about Finney.

Knew JuJu injury wasn't that bad since they waited the next day to get an MRI.

I'm really gonna miss seeing him on the field after they cut him. It won't be the same.

[BurghBoy412]

I'm really gonna miss seeing him on the field after they cut him. It won't be the same.His 3 seasons of pay without work should be considered robbery.

[ALLD]

Golson can fade away and open up a business if he's smart. I was thinking a tour on the midget wrestling circuit or bake cookies in a tree.

[Born2Steel]

What is the Ayers injury? He's missed everything and now Trey Williams returns a punt for a TD. I believe Ayers is done in Pittsburgh now.

I was afraid it would have become bad as Dupree last year, but fortunately it does not seem to be the case.

The Steelers are healthy right now unlike other teams.

[polamalubeast]

still a concern for Mitchell

I think he goes to PS but just a hunch
