Roster moves continue, Dupree on IR

Steelers.com

LB Bud Dupree was placed on the reserve/injured list and LB Steven Johnson was signed.

Steelers’ linebacker Bud Dupree was placed on the reserve/injured list on Sunday. Dupree has not played during the preseason.

Dupree, the team’s No. 1 draft pick in 2015, played in all 16 games last season, starting five of them. Dupree finished the season with 26 tackles, 17 of them solo stops.

Dupree had an immediate impact last season, recording a sack of Patriots* quarterback Tom Brady in his first game. The following week against the 49ers he became the first Steelers’ rookie to have sacks in back-to-back games since 2007.

The team signed linebacker Steven Johnson to take Dupree’s spot on the roster. Johnson signed with the Steelers as an unrestricted free agent this offseason from the Tennessee Titans, and was released on Saturday when the team had to get down to the mandatory 53-man roster.

Johnson was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Denver Broncos in 2012, and spent his first three seasons with the Broncos. He played in 57 games during his career with a total of seven starts, and has played in five postseason games with one start.

Somewhat off topic.

Golson still isn't placed on IR. Maybe he will return sooner then we think??

Not even the first freakin game and we already lose someone? SIGH! So it's Moats and Jones to start on the ends?

I'm sure of that, but Chickillo will probably get some playing time in relief

The Steelers still have injured cornerback Senquez Golson on the active roster. He underwent surgery for a Lisfranc injury on Aug. 8 and said he has a 10-week timetable, which would put his return at Oct. 17. Golson added that he would return "for sure by the end of November."

Perhaps the Steelers will attempt to keep Golson on the active roster until he's healthy enough to play, or at least make an attempt to do so in order to have both Dupree and Golson available in the second half of the season.

At cornerback, the Steelers currently have Will Gay, Ross Cockrell, Artie Burns and newly acquired Justin Gilbert on the roster. Safety Sean Davis is their slot corner.

Division of labor.....next man up.
Maybe more snaps for Harrison.....I can still live with that.
Based on this preseason, it doesn't look like he's lost much.

All joking aside, I'm sure he takes plenty. Doesn't bother me unless he gets caught.

Just like about any other team in the NFL, you simply can't avoid injuries.

Tomlin on Dupree at today's meeting with media

Tomlin: Bud Dupree capable of returning off IR. Muscular core injury. "We just want to get him healthy." Hopefully back in uniform this yr
— Ed Bouchette (@EdBouchette) September 6, 2016

Tomlin: Docs still uncertain whether Dupree will have surgery or not. Dupree told PG this week he would have it.
