Uh oh

Oh man. Huge loss. He signed his big deal last year. Kind of a reminder why players sign contracts vs bet on themselves and take the injury risk.

He knew it as soon as it happened. Horrible blow for PIT.

Hope he has better luck than JJ. Not stack injury after injury.

Just a brutal loss for the Stillers.

Our seasons over already

Yeah, that puts an end to the Steelers season. Tough after such a big win.

He'll have to get surgery later on, most likely

Uh oh

Apparently he's getting 2nd and 3rd opinions now and is trying to avoid surgery. Steelers have a decent defense, but they really really need him this year.

There aren’t many years you don’t need the defensive player of the year. He’s likely going to eventually need surgery even if it’s not right now. Rehabbing it can be risky, which is why he wants third and fourth opinions I guess.

Yeah, absolutely. I can't imagine him getting past this without need surgery at some point.

Deer antler spray.

Could very well go the rehab route and see where the team is at.

Sure right now he wants to get back in as quick as he can and I'm sure he's trying to find someone that will tell him in can play sooner rather than later. However, in 6 weeks or whatever if the team is headed in the wrong direction maybe he opts for the surgery.
