The Pittsburgh Steelers parted ways with veteran guard David DeCastro last week and in doing so, they listed his termination with the non-football injury tag. DeCastro will reportedly now need a third ankle surgery in the coming weeks and on the heels of him having a second one prior to last season. While DeCastro’s ankle reportedly bothered him most of last season, he was never listed on the team’s injury report with that particular body part alignment. Because of that, many are now wondering if the Steelers violated injury report rules last season.
On Wednesday, longtime NFL inside John Clayton was asked to give his thoughts on the Steelers not listing DeCastro on the team’s injury report last season with an ankle issue and if he thinks the team will face any sort of punishment from the NFL because of that.
