While there were a lot of positives to take away from last night’s game, and not a ton of lows, there was one major disappointment that, in the excitement of the return of football action, may have almost seemed to have inadvertently slipped onto the backburner.
The Pittsburgh Steelers did not come out of the preseason opener healthy, and, in fact, one of their most important rookies failed to leave the game unscathed, as second-round draft pick JuJu Smith-Schuster suffered a concussion early on. The wide receiver dove into the cornerback after intercepting a pass to assist on a tackle attempt by Jesse James.
