    Calvin Austin returns to practice

    https://steelersdepot.com/2022/10/ca...for-ir-return/

    I honestly didn't think he would play this season, but hopefully he can come back and provide some much needed explosiveness to the offense.

    WR Calvin Austin III Returns To Practice

    CAIII returns to practice today but remains on the Reserve/Injured List.

    They have 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster.

    If not activated, he’s out for the 2022 season.

    I'm sure Matt Canada will call 5 jet sweeps in a row with CA3.

    Seriously, can't wait to see him on the field.

    Just make sure they throw it to Najee on 3rd down well short of the sticks.

    I still doubt he plays. He might get a chance in the last 5-6 games if he stays healthy and other guys get dinged.

    Was it ever put out there exactly what his foot injury was/is?

    Yeah I would still be surprised if he plays too. A year trying to pack on some pounds would benefit him greatly, imo. But at the same time we could really use his big play capability.

    I'd like to point out that 86Ward and myself posted the exact same thread at the exact same time today. What are the odds? Lol

    I totally forgot about him. If he comes back and plays great just another reason to get rid of Claypool.

    Now the word is he may be done for the season. If this is the case then trading Claypool makes ZERO sense.

    Since the injury occurred I've personally questioned whether he will ever play a down for the Steelers. Reminds me of Senquez for some strange reason.

    It [the foot] feels great. It was definitely good being back out there. Definitely was a little winded, but besides that, everything felt good,” Austin said in his interview via the Steelers’ YouTube channel. “At this point, it’s just continuing to just perform out there and wait for coach [Mike] Tomlin’s word.”


    this sounds way way less optimistic and since they did not ( at least to my ears) activate him Wednesday he is done for the year as I understand anyways

    I believe they have 21 days from October 5 to activate him. I think that’s what I read…so by Wednesday of next week?

    My Bad for assuming this guy knew what he was talking about next time I will do my own math ....
    Heading into the game with the Miami Dolphins, the Steelers are facing having to activate the rookie or lose him for the year because of the NFL injured reserve rules. Josh Rowntree, who reports on the Steelers for 93.7 The Fan

    Golson also had a lisfranc injury

    Najee's lisfranc injury makes him look like Benny Snail

    Like I said my wife as a Division volleyball player and injured hers in her late 20's. She was never the same again. Granted she didn't have the medical care available to these guys but to this day (she's 50 now) it still hurts her from time to time and she'll have to spend a week or so doing home rehab with a ball on her foot.

    The 21-day window to activate WR Calvin Austin III from the Reserve/Injured List has expired. He will remain on the Reserve/Injured List for the remainder of the 2022 season.

    Makes zero sense not activating him. This offense could use some speed.

    Assuming not having played in a Stadium(per Tomlin, *eye roll*) played a factor, like that fucking matters when watching this offense.

    Re: WR Calvin Austin III Returns To Practice

    We still have Gunner Olszewski on the active roster with his 0 catches and 8 punt returns with a 25% fumble rate. This is the kind of Tomlin bullshit that's infuriating. Sticking with known bums instead of giving someone else a chance.

    I wonder if they were worried he missed too much time to catch up. I mean, he'd have to learn like 3 different plays.

    I'd be able to buy that if when asked Tomlin would have just said that but he didnt ...

    and if he wasnt healthy why would have have been practicing ?
