On Wednesday the Pittsburgh Steelers started training camp and according to head coach Mike Tomlin, three players start camp on injury lists. Tomlin addressed the media after the team reported and had their run test.
According to Tomlin, inside linebacker Cole Holcomb and defensive lineman Dean Lowry will start training camp on the active Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Holcomb is still on the mend from a serious leg injury he suffered last season. Lowry came to the Steelers with an injury situation but not one Tomlin was willing to elaborate on.
As for running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, he starts training camp on the Non-Football Injury list. This is because the hamstring injury he’s dealing with happened during his own offseason training.
Tomlin didn’t share any sort of timeline for any of the injured players but the injuries to Holcomb and Lowry have been lingering and don’t inspire hope for their availability anytime soon.
