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

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

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.

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

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

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)

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.
