Kirby Wilson, badly injured in a Jan. 6 fire at his home in a Pittsburgh suburb, visited the Steelers practice facility this afternoon.

Wilson’s appearance was a visit and not a return to work, but it still marked another milestone in the significant progress he has made in his rehabilitation.

Wilson, 50, will enter his sixth season as the Steelers running backs coach, and Mike Tomlin has said he expects Wilson to be back with the team for the 2012 season.

Keep on keepin' on, Kirby! We'll see you back on the sidelines in no time.

Awesome. Great to hear he is getting better. I really want to see if he can make Baron Batch our next star RB.

I'd love nothing more than to see that. Then we can bid Mendy a fond adieu after this year.


Mmmmmmmm...... fondue.

Goodbye Mendy, thanks for the help. Pleases so you don't slip on the cheese on your way out.

Well I think Baron has something to offer our offense, I don't know if he can handle the load by himself. Remember, he's coming off a knee injury as well.

You're right but I don't think it was as serious as Mendy's. I could be wrong. The fact that he was put on IR means it was a simple tear. And really he doesn't have to carry the load with Redman healthy he may be just a change of pace back this year.

also if your going to hurt a knee training camp would be the best time, you have the whole year to get ready for the next season. I wish BB nothing but good luck from hear on out.

I'm sure the team will work Batch back in slowly. We have enough capable running backs that it isn't a priority to make him carry too much of the load. I'm excited to see what he brings to the table this season.
