Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Ladarius Green (ankle) has been drawing the frustration of head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger due to his inability to get back on the practice field after going under the knife seven months ago. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Fantasy Impact:

All Tomlin had to say on the situation was that Green was "on PUP", while Big Ben only could muster up a shrug when asked about his situation. After signing a four-year deal this offseason, Green was expected to become a key part of the team's potent offense, but his struggle returning from injury is making it harder for him to have any sort of early-season success. He should be drafted as a risky TE2 with upside.
