Colon injures Achilles

[Oviedo]

Here is a name for you- actually, I had forgotten about him, but someone on SN pointed it out-

Ciron Black is still unsigned.

There is something fishy about this- my guess- and it is completely a guess... is he was one of the early round picks, that failed a banned substance test.

How else could you explain a once top half 1st round talent not being drafted or signed as a free agent???

Great call.

I forgot all about him. I'd be calling and offering a sweet contract.

Colon confirmed gone and now Chris Scott out with broken foot. The Steelers better be on the phone looking for a trade. Offer a conditional 4th to the Ravens for Gaither. At worst it would be a 3rd. They need to get a guy in here before camp. There is no starting RT on this team right now. Can't go into camp "hoping" someone claims it.

This has been an unbelievable off-season. We haven't even reached training camp and players are dropping left and right.

Initially I was'nt too alarmed by Colon being gone, however, now with Chris Scott probably out there goes any thought of depth. Definitely time to make some phone calls!

[ANPSTEEL]

wtf???

I hadn't heard about Scott's injury. Even though he was not expected to bring much but depth this year, (as a 5th round pick) you've got to be stunned by the rash of injuries.

On a positive (well sort of) note-

Looks like Flozell is in for a visit.

As I'm sure has already been pointed out- we'd replace Colon's 1-2 false starts per game with Flozell's 1 false start & 1 holding penalty per game.

...But many times in sports...it's not always what's suppose to happen that actually happens.

There will be a long laundry list of players who will get hurt from preseason to mid way through the NFL season that will have a huge impact on who wins in January.
