5 Players Start Camp On PUP List

Leave a reply

The team announced today that the following five players will begin training camp on the PUP list. Gradkowski (shoulder), Adams (back), Lemon (achilles), Pouncey (foot), and Golson (shoulder) are all starting camp on PUP.

Lemon’s achilles injury is reportedly a strain. Pouncey is considered day to day with a foot sprain. Mike Adams is coming off a back surgery (7/20) and will need approximately 4 weeks recovery. No immediate word on the severity of Golson’s shoulder.

Mike Adams’ surgery certainly hurts the tackle’s chances of making the roster. His injury is also an opportunity for players like Mitchell Van Dyk and Villanueva.

Steve McLendon Was The Only Injury Of Note Tonight

Coach Tomlin addressed the media tonight after the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Aside from some bumps and bruises, and a shoulder injury to Steve McLendon, there were no major injuries according to Tomlin.

“A bunch of bumps and bruises. Steve McLendon had a shoulder and wasn’t able to return. I’ll have an update for you at the appropriate time. I don’t have anything other than that,” said Tomlin. Lawrence Timmons looked to be in a lot of pain after one play late in the game, and when asked about him, Tomlin replied, “He went back into the game.” I guess he was one of the bumped and bruised.

Redskins Post-Game Injury Report

Leave a reply

During the course of the Redskins game, the Steelers suffered a few injuries. Some very minor, others TBD.

Le’Veon Bell left the game early after a tackle by Barry Cofield, with what’s being called a mid foot sprain. Coach Tomlin said he will get a MRI tomorrow to determine the severity. Not to be an alarmist, but early rumors are that this may sideline him for weeks. Hopefully the rumors don’t prove true.

Terry Hawthorne left the game with leg cramps.

Baron Batch left with a stinger and did not return.

Will Johnson left the game due to a hit to the helmet by S DeJon Gomes. He was said to have suffered a rib injury from the hit and did not return.

I’ll update as soon as I hear an update on Bell and Johnson’s injury.

The injury appeared to be serious, and he seemed to be in a lot of pain, and was ultimately carted off the field. Coach Tomlin says it appears to be a significant injury, but cannot give details until he undergoes medical evaluation. Embernate, an UDFA right guard out of San Diego State, was working with the second team today before injuring his knee.
