It is unknown what the status is of Pittsburgh Steelers starting center Mason Cole, who left Sunday’s game with a foot injury and was reportedly seen in a walking boot at the team’s facility yesterday. He has played banged up for much of the year, but this injury could cost him time.
If he does sit out, then the responsibility will fall upon veteran reserve J.C. Hassenauer to fill in, something he has done a number of times in recent years. He closed out the 2021 season starting at center after Kendrick Green was injured. And his teammates are confident in his level of play.
