Steelers May Be More Susceptible To Injuries Than Others With Extra Preseason Game

Earlier this offseason during OTA’s, we all saw what could happen during an NFL practice, albeit minus pads, whenever highly-touted Jaguars’ rookie edge rusher, Dante Fowler Jr. already began making plans to debut in 2016, as he went down for the upcoming season with a torn ACL.

Training camp is an entirely different animal, with helmets, pads and live contact and if one is seeking the latter, I highly recommend checking out the backs on ‘backers portion of Steelers’ camp, as it’s always a fan favorite. Each and every year, numerous players go down during this grueling segment of the NFL calendar, some for days or weeks, others for months or the entire season.
