Steelers’ Mike Tomlin has no update on Ryan Shazier
Mike Tomlin isn鈥檛 a doctor, and, he added, neither is Ryan Shazier.
The Steelers linebacker declared his right knee 鈥渇ine鈥� after Monday night蘑菇视频 38-16 win over the Washington Redskins, but his coach wasn鈥檛 making any such prognosis. Shazier was removed in second half for what he called 鈥減recautionary reasons.鈥�
Speaking just 13 hours after last addressing the media, Tomlin said during his weekly Tuesday press conference that he had no update on Shazier蘑菇视频 condition and that the 24-year-old was still being evaluated.
The potential loss of Shazier would be a significant blow to the Steelers, who will have a short week of work before Sunday蘑菇视频 home opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Shazier, who had an interception and a forced fumble against the Redskins, has played a major role in the rivalry with the Bengals, including knocking Cincinnati running back Giovani Bernard out of last year蘑菇视频 AFC Wild Card game with a vicious hit. That hit, a crown to the head, was later legislated out of the league.
Wide receiver Markus Wheaton, fullback Roosevelt Nix and offensive lineman Cody Wallace, all of whom missed Week 1, could return this week, according to Tomlin.
