DeCastro miss practice again on Friday The Pittsburgh Steelers’ second official injury
report of the week was something of a mixed bag on Friday with four players held
out of practice for the team’s penultimate training session of the week. The
continued absence of starting offensive lineman David DeCastro and Marcus
Gilbert is the most troubling aspect of this latest update
Diontae Johnson Jersey Youth , as both were sidelined for the second day in a row. With just one day of practice remaining for both players to prove they’re
healthy enough to play in Week 3, it’s looking increasingly like the Steelers
will be forced to go without them.Although rookie Chukwuma Okorafor is
officially listed as the backup to Gilbert, it would appear that Matt Feiler has
been preparing to start at right tackle in training. When speaking to Teresa
Varley of Steelers.com, Feiler confirmed he had been getting all the reps with
the first team.Consecutive days as full participants at practice for Joe

Justin Layne Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , Tyson Alualu and Ramon Foster bodes well for their inclusion on Monday and Haden sounded like he might be close to a
full recovery when talking to Varley.Unfortunately, Morgan Burnett seems to be
regressing with a groin injury that caused him to be limited on Thursday, and he
was held out practice altogether on Friday. Hopefully, the illness Stephon Tuitt

experience. After losing Jesse James in free agency to the Detroit Lions, the
Steelers were hoping to add a tight end to go along with Vance McDonald and
Xavier Grimble.According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the team started the process by
hosting former Jaguars tight end James O’Shaughnessy Monday.O’Shaughnessy
started his career with the Kansas City Chiefs

in a season, but he is coming off arguably his best season of his career.Last
year, with Blake Bortles as his quarterback
Ulysees Gilbert Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey , O’Shaughnessy caught 24 passes on 38 targets for 214 yards. While he only has one career touchdown, his role
has never been as a premier pass catcher. The kicker for this scenario for
Pittsburgh is about salary cap space. The team is making deals and has all but
exhausted their remaining salary cap space. There are moves which can be made to
create more cap space, like giving Ben Roethlisberger a new contract, and the
team will have some time to get that number right this summer.Stay tuned to BTSC
