Steelers CB Joe Haden has a mild (grade one) hamstring pull, per source. That’s a good sign for the Steelers, but they won’t push it. He’s not a lock for Week 2 matchup with Chiefs unless it heals correctly early in the week. Early signs are positive, though.

I think that sounds good, as in not long term.

I guess it is a wait and see if he is still out Sunday.................

Hamstring injuries are tricky. I've had them. Just when you think all is fine and you're good to go.....POW! You pull/tear it again and you're back to square one. If he keeps aggravating it, the only way to fully heal a hamstring is to take a season off. Otherwise it may nag the entire season. Let's hope a few weeks rest is all Haden needs. I'd rather have him long term than have him rush back and re-injure it again.
 
Dale Lolley over at DK Sports posted it was mild and he was walking today without a limp. He may not play this week but not expected to be a long term issue.

He will miss at least 2 or 3 games.

I usually has what 2 to 10 days on a average recovery?

Maybe more maybe less. Really individual to individual basis. As he could even play Sunday provided he practiced toward the end of the week.

I am thinking one game off and he will be back.

We'll see.
 
One of my hopes during training camp was that Sutton would play so well that he would force the coaching staff to move Hayden to the slot CB. Here's your chance Sutton.
 
got to play Hill over the top Cam underneath and perhaps Dangerfield or Allenn over the top

Sit him until the Ravens game. It's a long season and we need him. Let it heal.

God do we ever. I wouldn't mind sitting him until then. Factoring in the weather, the Ravens did to the Bills what we should have done to the Browns.

What he said. Don't rush back. But I thought Sutton did pretty well.
 
Sutton was hit and miss. He gave up a TD and then came back and made a huge INT.

Didn’t Sutton get beat twice on Sunday. I know he got an int. but the kid scares me.

He did, but to be fair, the td catch was Gordon showing why he’s considered one of the top receivers in the league. Sutton was in his back pocket, and had an opportunity to take that ball away. Gordon just went up and took it. Similar play to what Hopkins did to Haden on Xmas last year; Haden shut Hopkins down, but Hopkins made that touchdown happen. Sometimes, there’s just nothing you can do.
