The New York Giants will be relatively healthy entering Week 1 of the regular season, listing three players as questionable, but the Pittsburgh Steelers weren’t quite as lucky.
Although their final injury report consisted of just one name, it was a big one — starting guard David DeCastro.
As expected, the Steelers officially ruled DeCastro (knee) out against the Giants, meaning veteran offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski will step in to replace him.
“I have learned in my years in the NFL be ready for anything,” Wisniewski told Steelers.com‘s Teresa Varley during training camp. “I am capable of being a starter in this league. I think I have proven that.”
Wisniewski, a 10-year NFL veteran, certainly is no slouch, but his presence just means further uncertainty for the right side of Pittsburgh’s offensive line. They will feature a replacement right guard, a new right tackle and a new left guard on Monday night.
For the Giants, wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring), tight end Levine Toilolo (hamstring) and rookie linebacker Tae Crowder (hamstring) are all listed as questionable.
