Some fans can’t stand it, while other fans just don’t care. It’s the infamous “DNP- coaches decision” designation on the weekly injury report. While the concept of a veterans day off is not exclusive to the Pittsburgh Steelers, it is something which should be managed effectively.
On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers used the “coaches decision” designation for the second time during the 2019 season in an official injury report. Being only Week 2 and there being three injury reports per week, the Steelers have now use the designation at least half of their official reports. During Week 1, Mark Barron did not practice due to a coaches decision on Thursday.
