There hasn’t been a lot of good news swirling around the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex over the course of the last two weeks, as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season has gotten off the tracks a bit over that span of time following consecutive losses by double digits and the knee injury suffered by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
The year has, in fact, been plagued with injury misfortunes, including one that has been playing out along the offensive line over the course of the past three weeks. Right tackle Marcus Gilbert already went into the season with a shoulder injury that may require surgery after the season, but he has missed the past three games as a result of a mid-foot injury.
