Shoulder surgery shelves Steelers rookie cornerback Golson

Steelers rookie cornerback Senquez Golson had shoulder surgery this morning, but coach Mike Tomlin said he did not know how long his No. 2 draft choice from Mississippi would be out.

Golson, taken 56th overall in the draft, has been on the team’s physically unable to perform list since the start of training camp. Tomlin said the Steelers knew he would likely need surgery, but waited until now because they wanted Golson to experience training camp at Saint Vincent College and sit in on meetings.

Today is the final afternoon practice at Saint Vincent. The Steelers officially break camp Saturday morning.
