Aaron Smith may be out Sunday

Just read this on another board. Said Tomlin said he is questionable. WTF is going on here? If he doesn't play will we be able to stop their power running game? this is 10 times more devastating than losing weedy mcweed

i agree smith hurts more than losing holmes. i read that he hasnt practiced the last couple of days because of personal issues and now he is questionable? kirschke is a good back up and eason is ok but they need a.smith badly. he dominates

Maybe Eason steps up better this yr than 07. With our next opponents we need Smitty!

Is it a personal issue or is it an injury? If it is a personal issue and it's something that has to do with his family then I don't mind the fact that he will miss a week. Priorities are priorities and family comes first no matter what. If it is another injury to Aaron then the team is in big trouble for the forseeable future. He is the glue in the front seven that holds the team up against the run. I don't care if Big Snack is back or not.

Speaking of.....if Casey is back do they try Hoke at end? Just a thought!

I saw the same report about personal issues. Probably just the fact that he has been missing practice time, maybe he has to just show up on the injury report because they don't know if he's ready to play. I don't recall any injuries though.

Just found this...


(KFFL) Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers DL Aaron Smith (personal) is not listed on the injury report for the team's Week 8 game but it appears he will not play in the game because of personal reasons. "He has our complete and full support. He is going through a time right now. It's questionable whether or not he'll participate (in the game) at this time," head coach Mike Tomlin said.

Glad he's not hurt, but that sounds like some serious family stuff might be going on there. Not good.

We're talking about Eason? LOL!

What a joke.

The only reason the line/D has still played well with injuries on the line is BECAUSE of Aaron Smith.

We'll again see what his worth is this week...sadly.

He's definitely the glue. We are in trouble. Jacobs may be getting to the next level on us all day...
