As first reported here, Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey has finally, definitely, absolutely had a second surgery. The evidence was an Instagram post from his girlfriend. Pouncey himself posted photos heading to and from North Carolina but did not mention surgery. He did, however, have what may be the top of a bandage visible on the part of his left leg seen in the return trip picture:
Pouncey is rumored to have had the plate removed as well as an irrigation and debridement, with application of a wound VAC dressing, otherwise known as a vacuum assisted closure device.
