PITTSBURGH --Pittsburgh Steelers center Zach Frazier has a calf injury that could limit him throughout the week. He popped up as a limited practice on Wednesday and battled through it with a leg sleeve. It is not expected to force him to miss Sunday’s game against the Packers.
Head coach Mike Tomlin hinted that multiple Steelers players could be limited early this week with injuries they suffered against the Bengals, but Frazier was the only one to pop up on the injury report. It is not believed to be serious, but if he did have to miss the game, it would be center Ryan McCollum starting.
Frazier missed two games in his rookie season with a high ankle sprain, but otherwise quickly became one of the best centers in all of football. He has done the same in his second year, becoming the stalwart of a young, improving offensive line for Pittsburgh.
So far, the Steelers have not dealt with any injuries along their offensive line, as they have put the same starting five players out there for every single game this season, but they were banged-up throughout the training camp process with multiple players missing time with ailments.
