The Pittsburgh Steelers defense didn’t suffer any major injuries during the preseason, and thank the Football Gods for that, but there was a constant stream of bumps and bruises that left several on the sideline. T.J. Watt with a hamstring, Bud Dupree a concussion, Mike Hilton a knee, Sean Davis a groin, Joe Haden a lower body, and Morgan Burnett a hamstring.
The good news is that health is on their side at the right time. Mike Tomlin was optimistic about the status of all those players heading into Week One, saying at his press conference everyone on the 53 man roster would at least be a partial participant.
