Rookie guard Kevin Dotson showed remarkable durability in college. He started a career 52 games at Louisiana-Lafayette and that can make anyone feel invincible in a sport riddled with so many injuries. But Dotson suffered an injury scare early in training camp, a knee injury that seemed serious at the time, requiring assistance from trainers and Ben Roethlisberger to get off the field.
While we don’t know the specifics of the injury, we know Dotson has fully returned to practice. Speaking with reporters earlier today, Dotson says the injury opened his eyes.
“I feel like for me, it was a kind of a wake up call that it could be over quick,” he said via the team website.
