That’s what the story is. End of season. Possibly career in Pitt. Shame.
 
“Team source said initial tests suspect...Steelers expect him done for season” per NFLN
 
Real tough for Dupree who's been one of our best players this year and such a key element of the success of this defense. Tough for the Steelers too because without half of that pass rushing duo it's hard to imagine this team going on a serious playoff run (just being real). Even worse as he's entering free agency and may not even be able to play next season.
 
It was obvious the way and when he went down. Grabbed his knee right away. Told my wife that I hoped it wan't an ACL. **** sucks.
 
Non contact injuries are the worst. Another huge blow to the D. I can’t see the replacement just getting plugged in and not missing a beat twice in the same season. I’m hoping Highsmith can pick up the slack as best as possible.

Is it absolutely ridiculous to give James Harrison a call? He’s 2 years out but does tackle the guy on the commercial fairly well.

yes it is ridiculous he was already dead against outside runs then.
 
Well today was Bud's last game in a Steelers uni. Thanks for the good year and half of play. Goodluck in your future career.

His post made no mention of a source sort of a rule here for a post like that.

This sucks man, but don’t kill the messenger man. If I didn’t put the source, google it or wait 39 seconds and someone else surely will. Just a bad day. Feel terrible for him.

Probably but who knows. This might lower his price for a one year deal. The league is going to have to make some kind of adjustments to the rules for a year or two or there will be a free agency bloodbath.

We wouldn't have been able to sign him in a normal cap year, next year will be much lower. No chance he comes back.
