Although his playing time was relatively limited, it’s probably fair to say that over the course of the last two games, Pittsburgh Steelers fifth-year outside linebacker Bud Dupree has put together the strongest body of work in the preseason that he has at this point in his career, which included a two-sacks performance and another positive pass-rushing display that appears to show much-needed progress in certain areas.
His opportunity to develop those long-awaited pass-rushing assets was cut short with a thumb injury on Sunday, and as should go without saying, he is obviously not going to play tomorrow night’s preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers.
