Steelers’ Ladarius Green out of OTAs after ankle surgery

Posted by Michael David Smith on May 25, 2016



Ladarius Green’s 2015 season with the Chargers was cut short by an ankle injury, and the ankle continues to hold him back now in Pittsburgh.

Green, a tight end who signed with the Steelers in March, is missing the start of Organized Team Activities because of surgery on the ankle. Green said he isn’t sure when he’ll be back, but he is expected to participate in training camp.

“I just want to see if I can prove it to myself that I can go out there and be the best,” Green told ESPN.

The Steelers presumably knew the status of Green’s injured ankle when they signed him, and so this is likely not a major concern. But it bears watching to see how long into training camp they’ll have to wait for their offense to be at full strength.

No new news on Ladarius Green. He said when he signed in March that he had ankle surgery and wasn't going to be ready until training camp.

Jesse James better be ready just in case. Doesn't sound like a big deal but it is an ankle.

Jesse James and Matt Spaeth can hold down the fort until Green gets back fully healthy. No need to rush anything at this point.

What the ...?! How are we going to get excited about how awesome he is after every little catch he makes in shorts and t-shirt this spring? Hurt already and he's done absolutely nothing for the Steelers. Calling it now, Injury Prone Bust.
