Despite a plethora of significant injuries, the Pittsburgh Steelers received some good news for a change — regarding the overall condition of WR Calvin Austin III’s shoulder.
On Thursday, The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo reported a positive update on Calvin Austin — specifically providing good news in the form of negative X-ray results.
“X-rays on Calvin Austin III’s shoulder came back negative, according to a league source, which is good news,” DeFabo wrote. “I do not know yet if he’ll miss time with the injury or not.”
Last Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, Austin injured his shoulder in the fourth quarter and was quickly ruled out. He was ultimately hospitalized for the injury, leaving many initially frightened at the severity of his setback.
Regarding a possible return timeline, Steelers insider Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Austin was expected to miss multiple weeks — which makes this bye week even more important for his overall recovery.
We at Steelers Wire are committed to providing you updates on Austin’s health and overall recovery process — with his availability becoming clearer during the build-up to Week 6’s matchup vs. the Cleveland Browns.
