Report: Steelers CB Senquez Golson could miss 12 weeks with Lisfranc injury

For those who were in attendance at the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp practice Monday, they saw Senquez Golson go down with a foot injury. The extent of the injury wasn't known, but judging by his reaction, it wasn't good.

Golson slammed his helmet down, and limped around for a bit before simply going to the ground and the medical team carting him off the field. Mike Tomlin said nothing more than a mid-foot injury, but reports are now surfacing the injury could be the worst-case scenario for the 2nd year cornerback out of Ole Miss.

Ouch. @RapSheet and I were just told LOUSY news for the #Steelers. CB Senquez Golson has a lisfranc injury that could keep him out 12 weeks

If the report is true -- the Steelers have yet to release anything official -- a 12-week injury would have Golson completely healed around mid-October.

While some are suspecting the injury could land him on the injured reserve, ending another season before it ever began, he could certainly be a candidate for the IR/Designated to return list. The 12-week time span for this type of injury could see Golson miss the first 6 weeks of the season before potentially being able to return.

As stated earlier, the Steelers have not released anything official, so all reports should be taken as just that -- a report.

The Steelers have an off day today, so the next time Mike Tomlin will speak to media will be Wednesday.
