Is he badly hurt? Dinged? Is he coming back anytime soon?

Clearly he's an important piece of the run defense. (By the way, I'm as thrilled as anyone with Buggs, but the season is entering the "grind" mode and the team needs as many of it's maulers as they can get.)
 
Ya, that's what has me worried.
 
If its serious and they dont want cowboy cast off poe... id bet pending ufa Dalvin Tomlinson could be pried from the Giants for a small price... just spitballing there though...
 
I know Dejan said the fact that they ruled him out of the game so quickly after it happened was not a good sign as to how serious it is.
 
My two cents, from what I saw multiple shots of him standing on the sideline it might not be serious, Usually a serious injury at the very least is over icing knee on sideline, sent back to locker room for xrays, etc. But I have never seen a player with a serious knee injury stand with team on the sideline the whole rest of the game.
 
Just the way he straightened it out during the play worries me... im really worried its ligaments... i swear we can NEVER keep a dline healthy all year...��
 
Maybe get McCullers back from da Bears PS - he already knows the system ands is at least as good as Buggs IMHO...

Initial diagnosis for Steelers DL Tyson Alualu is a sprained MCL, per source. Waiting for MRI to confirm. Could miss some time but not considered major.

They have to at least bring in temp help on the line then... Worms is on IR, Alualu is going to be shelved for a few weeks, Heyward has some quad issues

That’s critically shortening the bench even if heyward is fine...
 
3 week and 6 week ir spots should be permanent additions to the league... it’s literally a no brainer that it makes dealing with injuries way simpler

Depends on the grade as a 1 or 2 grade would be the best scenario neither of the two mentioned would keep him out say 6 weeks.

I don't know about that... Buggs showed a lot yesterday. He's a lot better against the run.
