Golson done for the year

Golson, the team's second round pick in 2015, is not expected to play in 2016, according to Bob Labriola of Steelers.com. Golson is expected to be out 3-4 months after undergoing surgery to repair the Lisfranc injury he suffered in training camp.

"As for playing this season, that sounds impossible to me at this stage, because Golson has only participated in a handful of practices during his time here," Labriola wrote. "Expecting him to overcome his injury and then play in meaningful regular season games, with virtually no practice time at the NFL level under his belt, doesn’t seem to me to be very realistic, or smart."

 

Well, I know, I'm surprised. Shocked, really.

 

has he really started his NFL career? he has like 5-6 practices in two years. looks like he'll be an extra draft pick again next year.

 

China doll

 

I'm over this guy already, can't last in the NFL. Tough break but oh well next man up

 

Two words. Sean Spence

 

How about Greg Lloyd?

 

I was thinking more about people giving up on a player hurt in consecutive seasons without meaningful time in the regular season.

 

Just me

 

Too bad for him. For as frustrated as we fans are about him missing time, imagine being Senquez.... Two seasons of football gone before they started. Gotta be really tough on him.

 

Took the words right out of my mouth

 

To brighten up the subject, Gregg LLoyd missed his first 2 season, and you saw how great he
became. Maybe Golson could do the same?

 

Pittsburgh Post Gazette says Golson is eyeing a November return and that Golson says he'll be back this year. Here's hoping!!

 

I doubt it , his tape really not so good I never really liked the pick ,but hey maybe he will prove me wrong..

 

We can hope, can't we?

 

Indeed. Mike Mayock himself stated Golson was the best zone based corner he saw in quite some time.

Problem is that he'll only have two years left on his rookie deal. Next year he'll likely struggle a bit since he's barely played in two and a half years. Then you wouldn't want to re-sign him before his contract is up. Then what happens if he plays really good in his 4th year and hits FA? It's hard to re-sign him then, especially with only one good year of tape and a history of injuries. And a lot of teams, unlike the Steelers, will pay big bucks for an above average cb. This guy is probably going to end up being a waste of a pick.
