As it turns out, a healthy Vance McDonald is a happy Vance McDonald. The sixth-year tight end has got to be ecstatic about the fact that he has been able to be a significant contributor to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ success so far this year. And his ability to do that must be credited to the team’s patience in working him back from a foot injury that kept him out of the first game of the season.
There are few things that frustrate fans more than a player who routinely deals with injuries, and that has been McDonald’s story throughout his career.
