DeAngelo Williams updates....

SteelerSask said:
Lots of conflict information. He says he could have played Sunday. The media says it doesn't look like he will play. we will no by tomorrow. No practice tomorrow he doesn't play.

Look how he went down. It looks like a high ankle sprain, if it is was, he won't be playing this week. HAS take a good month to heal, if not longer.
 
I don't think it's a high ankle sprain. Didn't Tomlin say it was his foot in the press conference?

I think that's what Tom Brady has.

I think Tomlin said it was a foot more than the ankle, and that's what it looked like on replay. He came running back out later and had no noticeable limp and had his pads on like he was ready to go back in.
 
I think it was a compression of the sole of his foot much like Ben's. At its worst it is Lisfranc, but obviously it wasn't that. Sounds like a sprain of the ligimants where Lisfranc is a tear of ligaments and or breaking of the bones. I ****** hate these types of injuries this time of the year. If he doesn't play or can't play up to par, you friggen know he would be perfectly fine in another 7-10 days. If the season goes down cause of that it just sucks.

He did say that, but when I watched him go down, he grabbed his above his ankle...i.e. "high." But that isn't iron clad science I am going on here. :idk:

Kaboly just tweeted that DW is out of the boot and walking fine.

******' a.

I think it's a mini-hoodwink on our part.

D-Will came back out during the game, much to the delight of Munchack who grinned broadly and slapped him on the back as he jogged by.

It's deja vu all over again. I don't like our chances of beating the Bungles if he can't play.

They have their back up qb who has never played in the playoffs, I think they are worse off

Thats the only reason I hold out hope.. Then again, the secondary has a way of making backup QB's look like hall of famers, and you cant rule out the possibility that POS Burfict cheap shots Ben and takes him out.

Our defense made a Ravens QB who didn't even know his teammates' names look like Joe Montana.

Somebody needs to make Burfict's leg look like Joe Theisman's. Send out some backup ST player to blow out his knee in front of everybody then take his helmet off and beat him with it.
 
I´m guessing the Steelers want to keep the Bengals guessing about his status for as long as possible, that´s why we won´t hear anything definitive until right before they have to announce the status. I would say they will tape him up, dress him for the game, let Fitz play a little and then put DW on the field.

OH, MY! I am still laughing! I was laughing at sending out some goon after Burfict... and then I read... and take his helmet off and beat him with it!

PRICELESS!

DK says he saw Deangelo yesterday and he was walking gingerly. All indications are that Steelers are game planning without him in the picture.
 
Here's the thing, IF DW plays and how effective he is. Kind of like Ben playing hurt, how long before the sub goes in. I'm all for playing DW provided he's effective, which will be visually known right away. QB can get by a "little" gimped, a RB not so much.




Saluter the nation
 
Last year we knew Bell wasn't going to return. Had all our eggs in a basket full of holes.

This year it's only temporary with DW and Fitz can hold it down for a game. He's no newbie, he's been around all season. We aren't in the same hurt this time.
 
They might just play him situationally, like passing downs for blocking/catching occasional pass

MRI said no damage, just pain. This is when you take a shot and play through it. Suck it up and play tough. Steeler football like Ben told Martavius.
 
I still hope Deangelo can play -- losing your starting RB a week before the playoffs 2 years in a row just sucks.

Aditi says he was walking around the locker room without a limp - maybe there's hope

Bob Holtzman on ESPN said an unnamed Steeler told him he considers it "highly unlikely" that DW will be able to go on Saturday.
 
ESPN blows - I'd trust Aditi - she's there every day with them
