Steelers Injury Report

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

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.

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).

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

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.

Chickillo still out with a hip. This is another guy that can't stay on the field.

WTF

[polamalubeast]

[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]

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!

[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]

Great news

I was worried about Finney.

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

[polamalubeast]

The injury of Shazier is an concern.

[BlackAndGold]

The injury of Shazier is an concern.

Very concerning, but not surprising.

[Iron Steeler]

Alex Kozora "Senquez Golson on injury report: he is counting backwards from one million"

lmao

[BlackAndGold]

Shazier is back in pads!!!
