Guess Shurmur stated today that MoMass did in fact have a concussion. It sucks but I feel like with all of the technology and new helmets being introduced, the "concussion prone" players would switch to these helmets. Yet most of them complain that the old ones are more comfortable. The players that are refusing to wear the new helmets are the same ones that will turn around and sue the NFL in a decade because they suffered brain damage.

Andre Knott and Mary Kay were the ones I saw tweeting that Shurmur confirmed the concussion.
-
Yeah, they are saying Shurms is kind of pissed that he tweeted that.

I can't see him lasting here after this season.

Well all I gotta say is if he got a concussion on that hit, then he isn't going to last long this yr.

Good to know Cameron was out on the work out bike.

Cleveland Browns defensive back Dimitri Patterson was among 15 players that didn't practice today.
BEREA, Ohio -- Browns receiver Travis Benjamin, linebacker Scott Fujita, cornerback Dimitri Patterson, tight end Jordan Cameron and defensive tackle Scott Paxson were among 15 Browns players that didn't practice Sunday afternoon.
Many of the idle players were hurt during Friday night's preseason opener in Detroit.
In the span of nine plays in the second quarter, Paxson suffered a knee injury, Patterson sprained an ankle and Cameron hurt his back. The only one of the three outside today was Cameron, who rode the bike and watched from the sidelines.
Mohamed Massaquoi, who suffered a concussion in the game, defensive end Marcus Benard (undisclosed) and running back Trent Richardson (knee scope) were also not outside with the team.
But Richardson is back from Florida, where he underwent the arthroscopic surgery Thursday morning.
Shurmur declined to provide details on any of the injuries, and wouldn't say if any were serious.
"It’s hard to tell when those guys will all be back,'' he said. "They got nicked up in the game and we’ll see.''
Benjamin and Fujita didn't leave the game with injuries, but sat out today because of soreness from the game, Shurmur said.
Linebacker D'Qwell Jackson has been idle since last Tuesday with a sore shoulder, but it's nothing serious and mostly precautionary.
The starting linebacking corps today was rookie James-Michael Johnson and Kaluka Maiava on the outside and rookie L.J. Fort, an undrafted free agent from Northern Iowa in the middle.
Defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin (pelvis), who sat out the game, was back in action today. Starting next to him was third-round pick John Hughes, who also started in Detroit.
Others who didn't practice today include safety Usama Young (hamstring), defensive end Frostee Rucker, and tight end Ben Watson.
WADE WITH ONES: Seventh-round pick Trevin Wade of Arizona worked with the first-team as the nickel back today in the absence of Patterson.
"It’s a big role to fill and big shoes to fill, but I’m up to the challenge and that’s why I like the NFL,'' said Wade. " It’s a big challenge and I’m ready to do my part and do what I can.''
He said he feels like he's picking up the game quickly.
"I’m starting to read things better and know what’s coming and anticipate things better,'' he said.
Wade said he has plenty of experience playing over the slot receiver.
“My junior year I mostly guarded the slots in the nickel package, so I’m pretty comfortable with it,'' he said. "Coming in here it’s a different level. It’s a little faster. I just have to adjust better and play better technique and I should be fine.”

15 players still not practicing 3 days after 1st exhibition. That's bad.
Soccer, Futball, Fusball, Futsal, Foosball, Europe ... Mods are all gay. -
Seems like our team is made of glass...what the hell is in the water at training camp???
-
Shit happens, at least nothing looks all that serious. Nothing that is more than 1 or 2 weeks out.

The Steelers have a bunch banged up as well. It's a part of football and it's still way early. It's not something I'd worry about unless the injuries being reported have the potential to linger. We already lost David Johnson for the year and he was having a great camp. We also have quite a few still on PUP and it's not just a bunch of nobodies. Start worrying if you have a bunch of people laid up for the final preseason game.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

Truly a sad day when the local Steeler fan is the voice of reason.

The Steelers have depth. The Browns do not.

That is the same rumor that has been speculated on and then disprove/dismissed ever since the draft. Every month it is the same rumor and it is always the same team looking to trade for Colt... Green Bay. I'm not saying it isn't going to happen but considering how many times I have heard a trade has been proposed/already rapped up I think I am just going to wait for it to ACTUALLY happen.

ditto that for the Bengals-
" Wharton, who signed with the Bengals as a free agent last March, was the most seriously hurt. He had to be carted off the field with right knee injury on Cincy’s third offensive snap of the game.
Wharton is likely lost for the year, a huge impact on the Bengals offensive line. confirmed, out for the year.
Clint Boling, who is entering his second year after three starts at right guard last season, saw fist team snaps after Wharton went down. Second-year player Otis Hudson, listed on the depth chart as Wharton’s backup, could also be called to action because in Wharton’s absence.
On the next series, Maualuga and Dunlap had to be helped off the field after both sustained right knee injuries.
Maualuga did not return, but walked around the sideline with assistance. He indicated after the game that he’ll be all right and would be ready to practice Sunday.
Dunlap, on the other hand, is possibly out for the rest of the preseason. It would mark the third straight camp that Dunlap has to contend with injuries.
Meanwhile, there are indications that Taylor Mays sustained a concussion. Mays was knocked out of the game with a head injury early in second quarter, which gave Jeromy Miles some extended playing time."
Personally, I think MoMass is done- can't stop getting his bell rung, and even when he's healthy, not that good. So we're down one starter so far for 6 weeks, Fujita for 4, if you want to call that a loss. It could be worse folks.

Oh no...did Ben Roethlisberger twist his ankle again so we can hear all season how he's the "toughest" football player of all time.
-
no but their OL looked as bad as ours did. ben was getting rocked vs. the eagles.

Steelers fans have been making fun of Trent Richardson's knee surgery a lot lately. Kind of ironic that James Harrison just had the SAME EXACT thing done today.
