Steelers’ Injury Report: Marcus Gilbert | Forum

and David DeCastro miss practice again on Friday The Pittsburgh Steelers’ second official injury report of the week was something of a mixed bag on Friday with four players held out of practice for the team’s penultimate training session of the week. The continued absence of starting offensive lineman David DeCastro and Marcus Gilbert is the most troubling aspect of this latest update Roosevelt Nix Jersey , as both were sidelined for the second day in a row. With just one day of practice remaining for both players to prove they’re healthy enough to play in Week 3, it’s looking increasingly like the Steelers will be forced to go without them.Although rookie Chukwuma Okorafor is officially listed as the backup to Gilbert, it would appear that Matt Feiler has been preparing to start at right tackle in training. When speaking to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com, Feiler confirmed he had been getting all the reps with the first team.Consecutive days as full participants at practice for Joe Haden, Tyson Alualu and Ramon Foster bodes well for their inclusion on Monday and Haden sounded like he might be close to a full recovery when talking to Varley.Unfortunately, Morgan Burnett seems to be regressing with a groin injury that caused him to be limited on Thursday Jesse James Jersey , and he was held out practice altogether on Friday. Hopefully, the illness Stephon Tuitt is currently battling will have cleared up by game day. Rookie Terrell Edmunds would start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if Burnett cannot go, while Alualu would replace Tuitt.

EDTShareTweetShareShareJordan Dangerfield to miss the Steelers’ Thursday OTA session to attend his graduation Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsSteeler safety Jordan Dangerfield will be missing Thursday’s off-season training activities in order to attend his college graduation in Towson Dan McCullers Jersey , MD. Since entering the NFL in 2013 as an undrafted rookie free agent for the Buffalo Bills, Dangerfield fought his way onto the Steelers practice squad in 2014 and 2015. After spending the season on the Steelers 53-man roster in 2016, Dangerfield was injured for the first part of 2017 before landing back on the practice squad. He appeared in all 16 games for the Steelers in 2018, mainly as a contributor on special teams, logging over 300 snaps. Steelers reporter Missy Matthews interviewed Dangerfield about his upcoming graduation and what it took to finish his degree since he entered the NFL.While many view NFL athletes as millionaires who get paid to play a kids’ game, and this isn’t a fictional statement Xavier Grimble Jersey , it often goes unnoticed when a player goes back and finished his degree in college. More and more players are ensuring they go back and complete their education for one reason or another. Maybe it is to have something to fall back on if they get injured, or maybe it is a promise to a relative. Either way, congratulations to Jordan Dangerfield as he walks across the stage in Towson as a college graduate.
