Seriously, what the heck happened out at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp in Latrobe, Pennsylvania this weekend?
On Saturday morning, I wrote an article about how wide receiver Martavis Bryant is the Steelers’ fourth Killer B. I stand by that article (and I’m sure many of you agree), but he had surgery for an infection in his elbow that will now keep him out a few days.

Next thing I know, players are dropping like flies! According to head coach Mike Tomlin, G Ramon Foster had some stingers, LB Jarvis Jones had a bicep contusion, CB Antwon Blake had a sore knee, and that’s only a few names. And what about Bryant’s teammate, Markus Wheaton? Yeah, he’s out with a hamstring.
What is happening?!
Fortunately, there was some good news to come out of the weekend. Pittsburgh made a trade with the Eagles for cornerback Brandon Boykin.
With the Hall of Fame game just around the corner, let’s take a look at what each of these things mean, one by one.
