Bell missed the last two practices due to what coaches described as “hamstring tightness”.

LB Jordan Zumwalt is still out with a groin injury, and TE Rob Blanchflower of course is out with a high ankle sprain.

TE Michael Palmer isn’t practicing today. TE Matt Spaeth and RB LeGarrette Blount are also sitting out. It wasn’t immediately known why those three were sidelined today.

WR CJ Goodwin has returned to practice today for the first time since injuring his shoulder on the 27th. S Mike Mitchell was doing zig-zag sprints with trainers earlier. It certainly looks like he’ll be making his return soon if he doesn’t have a set back. Stay tuned for more injury updates later today.

RB Le’Veon Bell is still recovering from his hamstring “tightness”. He was warming up with the running backs at the beginning of practice, but was not in pads and is not participating today. WR CJ Goodwin is not participating due to his shoulder injury.

LB Jordan Zumwalt is also out due to his groin injury. Ramon Foster has returned from bereavement leave, but Punter Adam Podlesh is still out. His wife is expecting a baby.

I’m sure we’ll get some updates on the injuries from Coach Tomlin later this afternoon. Stay tuned.

Leave a reply

Jordan Zumwalt sat out for the conclusion of practice today with his upper leg wrapped. According to Mike Tomlin, he was experiencing some tightness in his groin which will be evaluated. With the heavy rains in the area today, the field conditions were more conducive to potential groin pulls.

Martavis Bryant, who was sidelined yesterday with a groin injury, returned to full participation today. Le’Veon Bell sat out today due to tightness in his hamstring. With backs on backers out of the way, it wouldn’t surprise me if he were to return soon. CJ Goodwin also missed practice today due to a shoulder injury he sustained yesterday.

Coach Tomlin said the other men who are sidelined are working to get back soon. Alvester Alexander and Mike Mitchell had a good run with trainers this morning according to Tomlin.

Ramon Foster was expected to join the team today, but he did not attend practice today.

None of the injury news today was as bad as David Snow’s foot fracture, but there are a few minor injuries to report.

WR Martavis Bryant did not participate in practice today due to a groin injury. RB Le’Veon Bell left practice early due to some tightness in his hamstring. Coach Tomlin said they are evaluating him. Lastly, WR CJ Goodwin sat out the end of practice due to a shoulder injury he received while landing on it during a catch.

Mike Tomlin said that he didn’t how much time, if any, the players would miss, and described them as ‘the necessary things that go on during this time of year’.

Steelers Reportedly To Sign WR CJ Goodwin

According to multiple media reports, the Steelers are signing former Cal U Vulcans wide receiver CJ Goodwin.

Goodwin is 6’3, 190 lbs according to media releases from the Pennsylvania college. Johnson was new to the Vulcans roster in 2013 after transferring from Fairmont State. He only started in the last one or two games of the 2013 season and finished with 11 receptions, 126 yards, and 1 touchdown. He also returned 1 kick for 25 yards last year.

Steelers scouts were in attendance at his Pro Day, where he ran a 4.41 40 yard dash, and posted an impressive 40 inch vertical jump. That would have tied for 2nd highest at the national combine. Goodwin wasn’t invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but he did participate in one of the regional combines. Here’s the video of his performance.
