And I want to add, the Steelers have done an excellent job managing injuries this training camp. Watt on the PUP to open was great to make sure he was 100%. Ola got surgery at the right time and is ready to play week 1. No major injuries to any of our starters (only Brian Allen and Levon Hooks were IRed then released as an Injured/Waived), and both were unlikely to make this roster.
Joe Haden is ready to play after resting the entire preseason. Chickillo, Layne, and Dupree are all ready to play after having their injuries rested the last few weeks of preseason.
No one wants to give the Steelers credit on their health management, but they are excellent at it. I know sometimes reinjury or infection/ bad luck can sidetrack some rehabs, but no one sees the good this team does. They only focus on the bad, which is rare on this team. Maybe 1 player a year.
I'll take these team doctors and the close proximity to UPMC to ensure our team is one of the best treated in the league!
