He's got two weeks to heal.

Get to the training room and slap some ice on it.

[salamander]

He was definitely one of the few bright spots on the o-line this year. We NEED him.

[O'Malley]

He's young and should heal fast. At least I hope he does.

[hotrodder07]

Hope he can get to 100% before the big game. He's really emerged as the best player on our offensive line this year. He's really important to our offensive gameplan, I'd say.

biggest game of his life im sure he will play through the pain

[CPanther95]

If he can't recover in time, do you think anyone would notice if Mike took his place?

Didnt Flozell Recover from one in a week? Get to the Ice Tub there big boy . No way in hell that I would miss this game.

[steelerdude15]

I'm more than positive he'll be playing the Super Bowl. He has two weeks to heal and that's great. Just rest and do what the doctors tell you to do.

[Count Steeler]

Great news that there wasn't more severe damage. He should be ready to rock in 2 weeks.

[steeldevil]

Good, we need him. Hope he is ok to go though.
