Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that Steelers WR Sammie Coates will miss the start of training camp after undergoing a knee scope last week.
According to Fowler, Coates suffered the knee injury while training in the offseason and he’s now a candidate to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
Even so, Fowler says Coates could be back mid-August, depending on how the knee heals.
There has been talk that Coates could be on the roster bubble this summer, so this is clearly a disappointing situation for him and the team.
