The Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver Justin Hunter on their Reserve/Injured list just over a week ago because of a shoulder injury he had suffered in the first half of the team’s Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. That injury was also apparently bad enough to warrant Hunter needing surgery.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Thursday, Hunter, who caught only 3 passes for 21 yards this season in limited playing time, is now set to undergo surgery for a torn labrum, per a source of his.
