Gilbert, Colon, Pouncey, Foster, and Starks appear to be the starters for the 2012 year barring more injuries. Legursky, Essex and Adams are to be backups. Adams may have been a starter over Starks except he was injured in the 1st preseason game. DeCastro was an upgrade over Foster, and without him we probably won't have a top offensive line. However, Pittsburgh's line is still slightly improved over 2011 with Gilbert's experience and the return of Colon. The Steelers are not placing DeCastro on IR and expect DeCastro to return for the last month or so of the regular season. Personally, I think they should put DeCastro on IR.

I thought that most of yinzers were anxious to get rid of Colon, no? But, I guess without DeCastro Colon is probably better than having Jessica Alba out there....or maybe not. With Jessica the defensive line would surely be distracted from their duties.

And I do hear that Adams is not doing so well.

Our own rookie RT had a rough game vs. the Eagles, but has otherwise looked good.

It does not seem that gruesome on video. Not like Theisman or McGehee. Nevertheless, gosh, that's too bad. Now they will have only Mike Adams to play this year out of their rookie class OLinemen. And I don't think he has replaced Max Starks there, has he?

when you dislocate a kneecap where does it go?

OZ, to see the Wizard.

Yea I didn't even mention this Die Hard because this one is in it's own upper echelon of injuries.

I actually have a friend who had a terrible problem with constantly dislocating his knee cap during football. It literally will go anywhere but where is should be. I have seen it down on the upper shin, up on the quad, and all the way over on the right side of the knee.

That sounds brutal.

Decastro out for the year per nfl .com

Torn MCL, dislocated knee cap, and sprained PCL. No known damage to the ACL as of yet which is good, but that is still too much damage to the knee for him to realistically play this year. It actually doesn't say on NFL.com whether or not it is season ending or if he will be put on IR, but Jesus who really expects him to play with all of that.
