In tonight’s preseason finale, linebacker Sean Spence, the Steelers’ third-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, was carted off the field after he suffered what appeared to be a serious left leg injury. Spence’s leg awkwardly underneath him when he was blocked from the side while chasing Panthers backup quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

Last week the Steelers lost guard David DeCastro, their first-round draft pick, when he suffered a knee injury in the preseason game against the Bills. DeCastro is expected to miss much of the season.

I wonder what kind of tshirts would the guy(STEELER FAN) who made the Bernard fan club tshirts (Bernard Pollard Fan Club T-Shirt: Steelers Fans REALLY Hate Tom Brady) make now

Severe hyper-extension at the best. His left knee bent backwards at the joint.

If the NFL isn't going to shorten or eliminate the pre-season, maybe we'll see more games like the Pats-Giants, where there was a lot of running and a not-so-veiled attempt to get the game finished and get out of it healthy.

I'd like if we could do more joint practices with other teams. BB says the Pats get more out of those than the games.

Too many players getting lost for the season before the season even starts.

Considering what could have been, the Pats made the 3 games in 10 days stretch with minimal (as far as what's been reported) damage. BB and the team handled it well.

This crap's been going on forever. I still remember that dark day when it was Tippett, Lippett and Veris.

The game has evolved from those days,

Far more dangerous today and the rules reflect that.

It's amazing that you miss the obvious even when it's in your own posts.

as per PFT he is believed to have a torn ACL, torn LCL, and dislocated kneecap.

Hart Lee Dykes seemed to never get out of the preseason...

You were jabbering about players 25 + years ago as if they have some relevance in todays NFL. Lippet was drafted 29 years ago.

I stopped counting at 40, but there must have been over 50 ACL or MCL injuries last season.

I saw the replay of that injury on NFLN earlier tonight while watching the Cards/Greenbay game. Man I was in pain just watching that happen.
