The 2017 season is a big one for Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward. Even though he is going into his seventh year, he is considering this campaign his sixth season, calling for a mulligan on his injury-plagued 2016 season that limited him to just seven games due to a number of ailments.
“I don’t count last year because I got injured too much”, Heyward told Chris Adamski. “This is my sixth season, and we’ll go from there”. Where he went in the preseason opener was about four drives’ worth of action and a couple of plays, including a tackle for loss and a batted pass, plus a whole lot of rust and jitters knocked away.
