Pittsburgh Steelers sign Doug Legursky with Maurkice Pouncey injured

He was examined on the sideline before being taken to the locker room for X-rays.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had confirmed Friday that Mathis would visit Seattle, and FOX Sports reported Saturday night that the Pro Bowl guard had a good visit but left without a deal. “I’m pretty sure he planned it. I mean, we’ve practiced against them all week, so he was probably thinking about it. I really don’t know him personally”. Nelson, the former Kansas State star, is out for the season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.

Mike Tomlin said after Sunday’s game that Pouncey would likely need surgery.

The play the Steelers ran on Pouncey’s injury is what’s called a pin and pull scheme. He can play center and guard.

The Pittsburgh Steelers 24-19 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the preseason was marred by an injury to one of their key players in Maurkice Pouncey, who hurt his left ankle and may undergo surgery, according to reports.

“That’s what I’m here for”. It ain’t my job to be reading.

With Maurkice Pouncey headed for ankle surgery, the Steelers are adding a familiar name to the mix at center as they sort through their options. I’m sure the team will say Wallace is capable of doing the same, and he has pulled in similar fashion before, but it just isn’t as effective and a concept I’d be surprised to see more than once with Wallace starting. If it comes to having to step up for a period of time, I’d be happy to do that.

“We’ve got to be better in the passing game, obviously”, Manning said. “We can all increase the energy level together”.
