The Pittsburgh Steelers face QB Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons in the opening game of the season. At least, every expectation is that they will face him recovering from a torn Achilles last season. He managed to avoid the PUP List to begin training camp and is practicing now. Not only does he appear on track to play, he is as energized to play as he has been in some time.
“It’s coming along. This is my first surgery in my life”, Cousins told Steve Smith on the NFL Network yesterday. If anything, it lit a fire a little bit.
