    Steelers left guard Ramon Foster was carted off the field very early in practice today. No word yet on what happened, but that can't be good.

    That would be a devastating injury. Finney can certainly do the job, but he is a downgrade from Foster and the Steelers would be extremely thin up front.

    Finney was likely to replace Foster come 2019 anyway. Seeing him in action sooner rather than later will be beneficial for the team's future.



    Regarding Ramon right now though, I wish him all the best. Big loss if out for an extended period of time for certain.

    How quickly can Faneca put back on 150-160 pounds and be ready to go?

    Bell had some of his best rushing performances last season when Finney started. Still not good for Foster, he’s a very good guard.

    Maybe that was Finney and maybe that was the opponent. Wasn't one of those big games by Bell against the Chiefs? Their run defense was a mess.

    I think the area they lose something with Foster out is in pass protection, but the lack of depth is a particularly big concern. If Foster is out and Finney is starting, they don't have a single backup I trust.

    Tuitt rolled up on him. Whether he's injured or injuring people. Apparently they were going pretty hard for 1st day of pads. Why?

    Ian Rapoport of NFLNetwork is reporting Foster's injury might not be serious.

    I’m not sure what tackles by themselves show. I believe we had a good TOP as well,which would affect it.

    If it was about missed tackles, that would probably be a better stat for SDOTs point.

    I expect we will be seeing some moves made soon. Max turek is unsigned. Might be an OK interior player if the price is right. :cool:
