A source with the Pittsburgh Steelers revealed to SteelCityInsider.com that Aaron Smith will undergo surgery on his right rotator cuff Friday, and that he won't be able to play for at least three months.

"That leaves the Steelers' valuable defensive left end out of action until the middle of January, meaning Mike Tomlin will have to make a decision similar to the one Bill Cowher made in 1995 with Rod Woodson, when Cowher left open a roster spot until the Super Bowl that season."

Ziggy Hood time.

That sucks and blows at the same time

Smith is the best 3-4 DE in the league.

I think he is one of the top five irreplaceable Steelers.

BTSC Obituaries

OldManSteeler, ominously died two days before Superbowl 123 where the Ravens are set to attempt their 7th superbowl win, facing the Detroit Lions on Sunday. He was 86. His last words are believed to be "MALOR CAN SUCK IT!!!". Like friends and family, we can only guess what this could mean.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I mean, I wanted to see Ziggy get busy this year. But not like this…
The whole D is really gonna have to step it up w/o #91 out there…
If Woodley was having problems rushing the QB before, its about to get much more difficult…

Deja vu all over again

Hello 2007…

The only thing this might help is the porous secondary, since any coach worth his salt is going spend time attacking this hole.
