    Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Willie Colon was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and offensive tackle Jamon Meredith was signed, the team announced. Colon's agent, Joe Linta, told the paper that the injury happened toward the end of the Steelers' 35-7 loss to rival Baltimore. "Willie is obviously devastated," Joe Linta told the Post-Gazette. "But he vows to be back and give the Steelers more good years." The team re-signed Colon to a five-year, $29 million deal over the summer.

    I haven't heard any in depth information about his arm. I had no idea it was that serious.

    Crowned Doesn't give a shit.

    He sucked butt anyways. I think Marcus Gilbert will be solid, I would have rather seen him at LT though.
