Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III is making his first steps back from an injury that’s kept him out all month. As spotted and shared by KDKA reporter Cassidy Wood, Austin donned a helmet, jersey, and jogged on the side during the team’s Monday practice.
It’s more activity than we spotted Austin making at training camp where he failed to wear his uniform since getting injured during the team’s Friday Night practice.
Mike Tomlin never announced Austin’s injury, only referring to it as minor and day-to-day throughout training camp. Austin was ostensibly dealing with something more severe than a truly minor injury, though teams are more patient and careful bringing players back from injury this time of year than they might otherwise be during the regular season.
