The Steelers lost. At home. To the Titans. It was ugly. What stings a lot more than the loss is the excessive injury toll the team suffered today. Most notably- Maurkice Pouncey. Pouncey injured his ACL and his MCL only 8 plays into the season opener. David DeCastro was attempting to cut block on Sen’Derrick Marks, but instead Pouncey was the unfortunate recipient. Pouncey is said to need surgery on his knee and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Larry Foote and LaRod Stephens-Howlings are also reportedly going to require surgery due to injuries received in today’s game. Foote ruptured his bicep and LSH suffered a torn ACL.
Cortez Allen suffered an ankle injury late in the first half. The details were not available after the game, but it was being evaluated. Shaun Suisham injured his hamstring before the game and could reportedly miss a few weeks. More details should be available in the next couple days so stay tuned. Expect some roster moves tomorrow.
