Steelers rookie Max Iheanachor slated to miss preseason game vs. Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie offensive tackle Max Iheanachor is expected to miss at least another week of preseason action, with his debut likely delayed after a shoulder/neck injury suffered during training camp practice on August 6. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he would not count on Iheanachor playing this coming Friday against the New York Jets, adding, “I don’t see him playing this week,” while noting the rookie is making progress. Early expectations suggested the injury might keep him out only a few days, but that timeline has shifted. The article cites other camp absences involving players such as DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman and Eli Heidenreich to argue the Steelers are taking a more cautious approach with summer injuries. It notes Iheanachor showed strong promise early in camp.
