After the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the media about the injuries suffered in the win. FOr guys like cornerback Joe Haden and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tomlin characterized the injuries as the normal bumps and bruises associated with play.
But for tight end Zach Gentry, things aren’t so clear or optimistic. Tomlin characterized Gentry’s knee injury as “significant” and promised an upgrade later in the week.
Gentry has played the last two weeks due to Vance McDonald being on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. There have been no updates on McDonald’s condition since going on the list. Tomlin said in his post-game presser he hopes to have an update this week.
If McDonald cannot return and if Gentry’s injury is as bad as presumed, Pittsburgh will be running a lot more 11 personnel on Thursday against the Baltimore Ravens.
