Center Bryan Stork will be ready for the Steelers.
Stork has been out of practice for nearly a month after suffering a concussion, but he passed the necessary protocol a while ago and the Patriots have been overly protective of him, according to a source. Stork could have practiced today if necessary, and he won't miss next week's regular-season opener, according to the source.
Stork missed four games last season due to injuries, including two with a concussion in the middle of the season, so this current situation shouldn't be simply dismissed. But as it relates to his availability for the regular season, Stork has been labeled good to go.
