    Sources: Steelers' Colon suffers arm injury

    Sources: Steelers' Colon suffers arm injury

    By Adam Caplan
    September 12, 2011


    The Pittsburgh Steelers not only lost badly to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, they might have lost one of their most important players for a significant period of time in the process.

    Starting ORT Willie Colon, according to two sources, suffered an arm injury, which is believed to be in the triceps area.

    If the injury is significant, and the early indication is that it is, the Steelers could re-sign veteran OT Flozell Adams, who started 16 games last season for team last season when replacing Colon, who missed all of 2010 with an Achilles tendon injury.

    The top free agent offensive tackles available according to thesidelineview.com are Ryan Harris (injured/back), Jon Stinchcomb, Nick Kaczur, Mario Henderson, (former Steeler) Max Starks and Adams.

    The Steelers, who host the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, list second-year OT Chris Scott as Colon’s backup.

    Colon re-signed with the team with a contract for five years and worth $29 million back in late July.

    If accurate, this is very bad news.

    If Colon is out for any significant period of time, the Steelers almost have to bring in a veteran OT, whether it be Starks, Adams or somebody else.

    I just saw in another thread that neither Essex nor Gilbert played. I guess Colon must have finished the game despite the injury?

    Adams or Starks (if in shape) can expect a call soon from Colbert.

    Can giving Marcus Gilbert reps be any worse than what we saw today? Ben has been dodging defensive pressure his whole career, can Gilbert really be any worse? Why bring in a lineman for one year and delay the growth of a draft pick that by all accounts the coaches believe is going to be a good player?

    bring on the future. Move Scott over to RT and put Gilbert at LT.

    That's what I'm saying...Why delay the development of a draft pick for an entire year, lets see what they drafted in Gilbert.

    Not a bad idea, if they intend to go that route, but that leaves them very thin on the offensive line.

    Also, very odd that all the local writers have confirmed that Dorin Dickerson was signed to the P.S., but none have mentioned Colon.
