Leave a reply

Coach Tomlin addressed the media earlier today a day early due to the short week. Tomlin spoke about the Browns game, gave injury updates, the upcoming Ravens game, and took questions from reporters.

On the injury front:

Curtis Brown is out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury.

Steve McLendon will be out this week with a sprained ankle.

Ramon Foster is ‘no worse for the wear’ after returning from his ankle injury.

Brett Keisel, Shamarko Thomas, and LaMarr Woodley are expected to work this week with an eye towards participation. How they respond in practice will decide if they proceed through the week. Stevenson Sylvester isn’t as far along as they are according to Tomlin.

Here is the audio from Mike Tomlin’s press conference.

The league handed down it’s weekly justice in the way of fines today, and Le’veon Bell was not a recipient. Stevenson Sylvester’s name was also not on that list. Bell was penalized for face masking Ravens corner back Corey Graham in the last couple minutes of the first half. Here’s a gif of that.~

Steelers Sign Stevenson Sylvester, Release Kion Wilson

Leave a reply

The Steelers have announced that they have signed former Steelers LB Stevenson Sylvester. LB Kion Wilson has been released. I reported earlier that the team had Sylvester in for a workout yesterday. Sylvester has been a free agent since being cut by the team on August 25th. Coach Tomlin said that Kion Wilson was a partial participant in practice yesterday. He injured his hamstring during the loss to the Vikings. Tomlin also mentioned that Da’Mon Cromartie-Smith was questionable with an injured hip flexor, so Sylvester’s services may likely be needed mainly to help on special teams.

Stevenson Sylvester And 2 Tight Ends Workout For Steelers

Leave a reply

LB  Stevenson Sylvester, TE Chase Clement, and TE Ryan Otten were reportedly in Pittsburgh earlier this week for workouts with the team.

The team parted ways with Sly on August 25th, when the training camp roster was reduced down to 75. Drafted by the Steelers with the 166th pick in the 2010 draft, Sylvester has remained unsigned since being cut by the Steelers.

Clement was a UDFA out of LSU who was signed by the Giants this spring and cut in August. He was originally a defensive linemen in college, but converted to tight end, and was used mainly as a blocker. The Giants had hoped to use him as fullback hybrid, and one staff member said he saw similarities to Jake Ballard. Clement is  6′ 4″ and 265 lbs. His uncle is former Lions offensive linemen Eric Andolsek.

Otten is a 6′ 5″, 230 lb tight end who was signed by the Jaguars as an UDFA out of San Jose State U this spring. He was cut by the Jaguars in August.

Update- Otten was reportedly signed to the Chargers practice squad yesterday afternoon.
