When Plaxico Burress re-signed with the Steelers this offseason, he figured he could make a positive impact on the squad. "I know I can still play, I know I can dominate in the red zone," Burress said in June, and he probably wasn't completely incorrect. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, the Steelers won't get to know exactly what he can do after he suffered a torn rotator cuff in practice Thursday, according to ESPN. The reported injury probably is season-ending, and considering Burress is about to turn 36, it could spell the end of his career as well. Obviously, this injury, along with the free agent departure of Mike Wallace, will thin out some of the depth in the Pittsburgh receiving corps. Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders are slated to start and Jerricho Cotchery will play a backup role, but after that, there aren't many recognizable names. Source: CBS Sports
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard At 36, his career is over
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard I never knew he had a career.
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard Like I said, looking forward to seeing the younger guys get these reps. Not sure he was a lock to make the team...
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard Did anyone other than Steelers fans know Burress was still playing?
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard this is a joke right?
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard probably not, he was signed mid season last year and didnt play much. Ben loves him i was hoping for some production from him this year with a full camp
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard ? ya about that............
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard Going to jail didn't help his career any. If he hadn't been an idiot he could have had a better one.
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard 64 TDs and 8500 yards isnt exactly a bad career. By the time he got out of jail he was pretty old for NFL standards and began a sharp decline, but i thought he had another decent year left in him, especially as a TD guy. Justin Brown is up though, the next guy to be the "tall guy" roethlisberger has wanted for the last like 8 years
Re: Steelers WR Plaxico Burress Suffers Torn Rotator Cuff, Career Could Be In Jeopard at least he came back and tried.god bless the guy for that.
