The Steelers 2015 first round pick Bud Dupree is headed to the injured reserve with a groin injury. After finishing his rookie campaign off strong with 26 tackles with 17 of them being solo and four sacks the young savage was set to have a breakout year. He is now injured to have surgery for a core muscular tear and hopes to be ready by mid season. This is a pretty big blow for the Steelers who don't have the greatest defense by far. Besides for the Patriots the Steelers seem to be having the worst off season between the suspensions and injuries. Hey on the bright side the just acquired Justin Gilbert from the Browns who will be an immediate impact to their weak ass secondary. The former first round pick was it anything special but he will can certainly be better then anybody else the Steelers are working with. Big Ben and AB are going to have their hands full but I have faith they can still win the AFC north if everybody can get healthy fast.
