Steelers injury update: Starting guard non-committal on status vs Cowboys

Last week the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line was dealt a serious blow when starting guard James Daniels was lost for the season with a torn Achilles. However, the hope was this week the team would get fellow starting guard Isaac Seumalo back after missing the first four games of the season to help bolster the offensive line against the Dallas Cowboys.

But when Seumalo spoke to the media on Friday, he wasn't ready to declare himself playing this Sunday and instead left it up to head coach Mike Tomlin to make that call.

"Yeah, I feel pretty good," Seumalo said. "I'll let Coach Tomlin decide on that, but I felt good the past couple days."

This doesn't sound like a guy who is 100 percent and ready to roll. Seumalo has been dealing with a pectoral injury and it isn't the type of injury you rush back from. We won't be at all surprised if Tomlin opts to give him one more week of rest.

This would mean that rookie Mason McCormick would slide over from the left to the right to replace Daniels and Spencer Anderson would plug into Seumalo's starting spot at left guard.
