Reported on the Steelers Official Facebook: Aaron Smith had an MRI; results such that he will begin lifting weights. Another MRI in 2 weeks, and Mike Tomlin said he's "encouraged."

Tomlin isn't the only one around here who's encouraged. :applaudit:

If we can get Aaron back for any part of the playoffs (if he's pretty much 100%) that would be huge. I have a feeling that the path to the Super Bowl goes through New England, and it will be much easier to make Brady uncomfortable in the pocket if we have old Aaron up there eating up the double team and opening up a lane for our linebackers.

Great news!

On a side note, I think Ziggy's game is improving leaps and bounds every week he plays!

Yes I just have that "feeling" that Smith will be ready for the playoffs if we can get a first round bye and he will vault and give this defense all the encouragement in the world!

Wow he's lifting weights? I can practically sniff his return! Kudos to the athletic trainers in Pittsburgh for getting him back on his feet!

Heh, heh, heh. Tomlin was no dummy for keeping him off the IR. What a boost he will be to the D and Ziggy is developing quite nicely in his absence.
