    Almost certainly out for the year. Or TJ will try and talk them into playing with a harness. I hope they just let him sit and get fully healed. No need to shorten his career hitched to the current offense

    Like I said in another thread, Sacks and YAC were the 2022 Steelers best hope to be a feisty competitive team. 20+ sacks just went to IR more than likely.

    Great. Depends on the severity on recovery time but he’s probably done for the season. WTF!

    They're saying he's getting scans, but he's basically done for the year or they'll make him play with a harness.

    Either way, this team is fucked.

    Yes. Plus there are alternative treatments ranging from high-intensity PEMF therapy to Deer Antler and everything in between that can greatly reduce recovery times from what I have read.

    If we had a great OL and a real chance to win this year I would say go for it, but not with this offense. Mack would cost too much in trade plus he's already on the Chargers now.

    Oh well. Now he’ll probably follow the injury path of his brother. I’m not sure what Najee’s injury is, but I wouldn’t consider him much of a loss TBH.

    I hope he is not suffering from Rashad Bush syndrome.

    Who to sign if TJ misses significant time?

    Some of the “Edge” rushers…

    Woof.

    None of those?

    If we just go for "competent NFL professional" then Skipper, Fackerell, and Ford make sense. If we go with the Steelers usual MO it will be Skipper because they know him and he knows the system.

    I suppose someone could comb through that list and see who came in for a pre-draft visit...that usually is a pretty strong tell.

    seen he went into facility in a t shirt and shorts ....

    that should be promising news in itself , one would think he would be wrapped if torn but I'm no Dr.

    Well at least these guys all run on 5G, the sad part is they're so old they only get 2 bars.

    Asking for a 2nd and 3rd opinion usually says that the first opinion wasn’t too good. Hopefully I’m wrong and the first opinion was that he could be back in 6 weeks and he is getting more opinions about doing long term harm if he comes back too soon.

    Yep, don't want him to come back too soon. The way the defense looks they should be able to get by okay. Would honestly rather him sit out an extra week or so than recommended to hopefully lessen the likelihood of re-injury.

    I am not a fan of rushing players back too soon.
