Is this the start of a B-more kind of season where half the team is on IR before the season starts?
fwiw, Brian Allen is listed next on the depth chart behind Haden at the LCB position.
or do we start Cam Sutton there on Friday?
That’s wonderful news!!!

No clear injury on Joe Haden, but he was walking with a limp per Missi Matthews before being carted off

UPDATE: Adam Schefter of ESPN is now reporting that Haden suffered what is being described as “a minor ankle” injury and that it looks like a major injury averted.

Reports: Joe Haden suffered “minor” ankle injury
By Josh Alper | Aug 7, 2019, 5:31 PM EDT
It appears Steelers cornerback Joe Haden avoided a major injury at practice on Wednesday.
Concerns that he suffered a serious injury were raised when Haden was carted away the field during the session.
Initial reports were not clear about what Haden may have hurt, but there are now multiple reports that Haden injured his ankle. Those reports also indicate that the injury is a “minor” one, which would seem to make the use of a cart a precautionary move to avoid having Haden walk up a hill to undergo further examination.
Assuming nothing changes in the assessment of Haden’s injury, it seems likely that he’ll be back on the field sooner rather than later.
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Damn.
Hopefully it’s nothing major or one of those nagging injuries that stays with him all season.
