Steelers fans rejoice — one former first-rounder dealing with an injury is set to return to training camp in the immediate future.
On Tuesday, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin addressed OT Broderick Jones ' lower-body, soft-tissue injury, telling reporters that the big offensive lineman should be back at practice on Wednesday.
On Sunday, those in attendance spotted Jones having his groin area wrapped by medical staff , and it was reported he participated in no more than a handful of practice snaps — a far-from-ideal start for the third-year Steeler looking to break out this season.
Jones' status on Wednesday will be closely monitored — but there is hope that this situation will serve as a only slight detour in an otherwise bounce-back Year 3 for the Steelers left tackle.
We at Steelers Wire will keep you updated on the situation as more news and insight become available, with Pittsburgh set to participate in their first padded practice on Wednesday.
