As was reported earlier, Bruce Gradkowski has a dislocated finger that requires surgical repair. WPXI is reporting that Gradkowski already had his surgery today. The veteran QB had two dislocations in his left ring finger. One that required surgery to repair, the other that will heal without surgery. He also suffered some torn ligaments.
Following up on the Michael Vick news from earlier, he is at the Steelers south side facility now.

Vick appeared in 10 games with the New York Jets last year. He completed 52.9 percent of his passes for 604 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
Obviously Vick’s history doesn’t need reiterating. I think there are going to be a lot of Steelers fans who will be very upset if the team signs him. From a football standpoint (putting what kind of human being he is aside), he could be a serviceable backup with some time to get the playbook under his belt.
If his physical checks out, I have to think the team will probably sign him. As Mike Tomlin said in an interview on NBC, the two both grew up in Newport News, VA, and Coach Tomlin indicated that he was interested in bringing Vick in after he was released from prison in 2009, in hopes to help rehabilitate the veteran quarterback.

The Steelers have activated QB Bruce Gradkowski from the PUP list. As I reported earlier, the veteran QB said he would be returning to practice today, but there was no official word on his status. Steelers PR man Burt Lauten has confirmed it on Twitter.

Gradkowski began camp on the PUP list with a shoulder injury. With his return, I expect we’ll see less a little less of Landry Jones against Green Bay next Sunday.
According to Scout reporter Jim Wexell, backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski says he’ll be practicing today. At the time of this writing, there has been no official word from the team about his PUP status.

Gradkowski began camp on the PUP list with a shoulder injury. He has been seen throwing more and more as of late though, so his return doesn’t seem surprising. We’ll find out for sure very soon.
