As if the sideline-level scouting report on WVU quarterback Geno Smith wasn’t enough to justify the write off, there was another nugget more closely related to the NFL that could make the entire day in Morgantown land in the deduction column on the 1040.
After the game, I spotted Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who was attending the game with his father, Oliver, the WVU Athletics Director. Andrew’s current team is on a bye, and with him was his former Stanford teammate, Steelers guard David DeCastro, whose pro team also is off this weekend.
DeCastro injured his knee badly during the preseason. Eventually, the Steelers placed him on injured reserve with the “designated for return” designation.
Five weeks removed from the injury, DeCastro was walking briskly without a limp as he and Luck left the stadium. Though it’s hardly evidence that he’ll be ready to go any time soon, with DeCastro able to return to play eight weeks after placement on IR (which happened nearly four weeks ago), he’s looking in street clothes like a guy who was never even injured.

| Nice to hear he's already looking better. We'll need him for the stretch run. I would imagine our run game will improve vastly once he and Mendy are both back on the field. _________________  -"I stand corrected...

| It does sound promising, just don't rush him back though! Would like to think about his career more than just getting him back right away! | |

| I only hope that he doesn't rush back too quickly and do more damage.
I'd rather have him long term, and no related issues to the knee than I would have him back for only a season or two. _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND

| Definitely is good news. I hope he can come back this season, but at one hundred percent. | |

| It will be good to get him back in the mix on the line. Our run game needs to improve and with DeCastro in there it will help a bunch. _________________  | |

| David DeCastro feeling no pain in his knee
Posted by Josh Alper
The Steelers lost guard David DeCastro for at least the first eight weeks of the season when they put him on the injured reserve/recall list after he injured his knee in the preseason.
DeCastro can start practicing after six weeks, the exact date is Oct. 19, and it looks like he might not be too far off from being able to do that once that date rolls around. Members of the Steelers say that DeCastro has impressed them with his diligent rehab and classroom work since he went down with a torn MCL and dislocated kneecap in a preseason game against the Bills.
“I don’t have any pain, so I’m just working hard to try to get back,” DeCastro said, via Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
