Pouncey needs surgery

[Steel Ballin]

Post game conference. CMT stated he needs surgery. No time table yet.

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

Seems like he had ankle surgery a few years ago, too.

Not good.

Where's Velasco?

 

[FAB802]

It's unfortunate, but he is one of the unluckiest mofo's ever.

 

[Litos]

terrible news, maybe fister Wallace could play Center hoping Pouncey comes back for the second half of the season but who is left for depth?

 

[slashsteel]

not a good start to the season............

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

Collin Rahrig, No. 54, a rookie from Indiana, is listed as a C/G.

 

[antdrewjosh]

Wallace will start

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

Need a backup, though.

Just like the year Pouncey went out, then Velasco.

But any way you look at, it's major setback for the Steelers' OL, and their offense as a whole. Even more pressure on the defense now.

Mike Tomlin said in the post-game press conference that Pouncey would require surgery, but offered no further details on what the injury was or any kind of timetable for his recovery

That's what I want to do to Goodell for the NFL's ridiculous preseason.

College doesn't have it. Why do the pros need it?

Between training camp, and scrimmaging again other teams, that's all you need.

 

[Lloyds legend]

Ouch..... not good.

The **** signed Velasco this year.

Look how lost Adams looks.

 

[Steel Ballin]

They'll need to bring someone in because they got nobody behind Wallace. Hubbard ******* sucks.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I wouldn't give Pouncey another contract. Ankle injuries seem to be a habitual thing.

Chris Myers is available. Two-time Pro Bowler with the Texans. Recently joined a sports radio station in H-town. But he can unjoin it:

I think I've seen this movie before.

 

[Steel Ballin]

Unofficial - broken ankle (obviously since surgery is needed) ....Out at least 10 weeks.

I always thought a break was 6 to 8 weeks...

(if it is a break)

 

[SteelChip]

What ?? No love for BJ ?

 

[Lloyds legend]

For what it's worth Legursky is out there too.

There going to have to pick someone up.

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

He is.

They'll probably look at him.

I suspect ligament and/or tendon injuries prolong recovery with this type of injury.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

What sucks is, if we do pick someone up that takes up a spot for others. We have such talent at wr.
Also what's up with Bruce? Does his injury and the fact we haven't seen much of him this PS mean we keep 3qbs? For what I seen of Bruce he looked very slow. Not much to judge but not happy.

Then with stephon out there is another dl we have to keep that might otherwise be cut. ******* preseason bs

I wouldn't of made him the highest paid center ever either but we did that. He has been plagued with injuries his whole career unfortunately.
