Toxikk Veteran Posted August 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 19, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer04/swi...TC-DT9705204233 The resurrection of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive line suffered a serious setback Thursday when the team learned that starting right guard Kendall Simmons will miss the entire 2004 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.A third-year veteran and the Steelers' first-round choice in the 2002 draft, Simmons suffered the injury during practice Wednesday, but team officials were convinced it was little more than a sprain. An MRI exam revealed the more serious tear, however, and Simmons will undergo season-ending surgery when swelling in the knee subsides. "BOM BOM BOM, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST" there have been so many season ending injuries this year... wtf. sucks for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I swear there are always a rash of ACL's during preseason. Dump it, and add 4 weeks to the schedule. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imtoomuch Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 There have been many complaints by the players that the preseason is too long. The NFL does nothing about it, though because the commisioner sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballpro9 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Torn ACL's happen when guys are going all out in any game...(pre-season, season) Thats why analysts question exhibition games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 i say cut the preseason to 2 games, make the regular season 18.. those first 2 games can be useful in letting a new QB learn the offense and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
