Pittsburgh Steelers DL Cameron Heyward injured his groin on September 10. Just over seven weeks later, he returned to the lineup for the first time and played 41 defensive snaps—more than half of the game, and about twice as much as was the initial plan. Not that he’s complaining, at least too much.
“It felt good. A lot of reps, but just glad to be out there”, he told reporters from the locker room following Thursday’s win over the Tennessee Titans, via the team’s website. “I’ll take all the reps I can get. I’ve got to make up for lost time”.
