Can't say the same for Haden.



I was shocked when I heard this news because the injury didn't look too severe. Announcers thought it might have been a knee to knee hit. I thought maybe it was a hamstring or something. After we got him, one of my coworkers, who is a Browns fan, said, "You'll love Haden. Until he gets hurt. And he always gets hurt."

My twisted sense of humor thanks you for passing it up.

Joe Haden could miss only three weeks

Posted by Mike Florio on November 12, 2017

The news initially was bad regarding Steelers cornerback Joe Haden. It may not be quite as bad as at first feared.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Haden could miss only three weeks with a slight fracture of the fibula. The injury will not require surgery.

The Steelers face the Titans, Packers, Bengals, and Ravens before a showdown with the Patriots* in Week 15.

Haden, signed by the Steelers after being cut by the Browns in August, has started all nine games this year. His absence will mean more reps for Coty Sensabaugh and veteran William Gay.

That would be great.  I was just hoping to get him back by the playoffs. That would get him back in time for the Pats* game at least.

Hate that for him. Seems like a nice guy though. Hope he gets better!

If he can get back in to the mix before the playoffs that would be great. My concern doesn't have anything to do with the next few opponents, but it has to do with the match in mid-December against the patri....I mean cheaters*****

Coty Sensabaugh confident filling in for Joe Haden

INDIANAPOLIS - Thursday night almost certainly will be the 30th NFL start for Coty Sensabaugh. It also will ensure that the cornerback will have at least one start in each of the six NFL seasons he's played.

Despite being the property of four different organizations over a 13-month span that ended earlier this year, Sensbaugh is no journeyman.

“That's the really crazy thing,” Sensabaugh was saying from the locker room after he was pressed into extensive defensive duty for the first time this season because Joe Haden suffered a broken fibula during Sunday's Steelers win at the Colts. “People get it confused; they act like my career I just have been all over the place. (But) I was in one place for four years, and then last year I just had a weird situation with one team.”

Definitely sucks to see him go down. On the positive side the next 4 upcoming passing offenses aren't the best:


Tennessee/Cincy tied 27th, Green Bay 23rd and that was with Rogers for most of season, Baltimore 32nd

That gives 5 weeks recovery time until the cheats game.

o heck tape it up shoot him up with pain killers he'll be good to go.

he's going to be missed imo Haden was the guy that really tied the years secondary together. would be great to have a healthy Haden for the playoffs.

don't care if the Steelers are facing a bunch of .500 teams the defense will have to shut them down to help out the offense

because the offense is going to score the least amount of points as possible

Glad it's not as bad as feared. Get well Joe. We're going to need you.

Has there been anything new about this today? Tomlin said a couple days ago it could be worse or better than they expected then.

Why Gay when Hilton is healthy? And for that matter did Wilcox leave town? Sensabaugh seemed OK against the Colts. I hope he can hold his own while Hayden heals. I'd hate to have to say I miss Cockrell.

Yeah I have a feeling we will be ok, the defense was on lockdown in the 2nd half. I do hope Haden is ready to go before we face the Pats*, we will need a healthy secondary for that. Not to mention that game will have huge playoff implications. Going to want that first round bye and preferably homefield. However there's the jagoffs breathing down our backs and we're 1 loss away from losing both the #1 and #2 seed since the h2h loss vs jacksonville

This Sunday will mark three weeks since Haden’s injury and Haden will not play against the Bengals. Coach Mike Tomlin didn’t say whether that would change in Week 14 against the Ravens or for the Week 15 game against the Patriots* that Tomlin has his eyes on.

“No clarity on his situation and when he’ll return,” Tomlin said, via the Pittsburth Tribune-Review. “As we get close, I’ll ask more definitive questions about where he is.”

I'm positive we can defeat the bungals and ratbirds without Haden, but it is apparent our secondary suffers greatly without Haden.

Steelers cornerback Joe Haden making 'good progress' from broken leg

JOE RUTTER | Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2017



Joe Haden didn't want to talk about the New England Patriots* on Wednesday. Just not for the same reason as his teammates.

While most Steelers teammates preferred not discussing the matchup against the Patriots* in three weeks — the “elephant in the room,” according to coach Mike Tomlin — Haden doesn't have the luxury of looking ahead to any games on the schedule with a degree of certainty.

Three days after shedding the crutches he used since fracturing his fibula, the veteran cornerback offered no timetable for his return.

It could be against the Patriots* on Dec. 17. It could be for the Houston Texans on Christmas Day or the Cleveland Browns on New Year's Eve. Or maybe it won't be until the playoffs in January.

Haden doesn't have the immediate answer. The only certainty is he won't play in a third consecutive game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium.

I think he'll be back for the Patriots* game, I've got a feeling.

Depending on how the next two games go, I may prefer he not be present for the Patriots****** game.

If the Steelers beat the bungals and the ratbirds, then we clinch the division. Playing against the Patriots****** with a beaten up team during the regular season would give them the playoff advantage yes, but it also won't give them the tape they need against Haden or other injured stars.

However, I also want to see if this team can hang tough against the cheaters without some starters. That will give me hope going in to the playoffs. Now imagine, if by the grace of God, the Steelers beat the Patriots****** without starters in place. Then get these other guys back healthy and ready for the playoffs.
