The Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with a significant offensive setback heading into Week two against New England. Wide receiver Michael Pittman Junior has been downgraded to out with a foot injury, leaving the Steelers shorthanded at the position and putting more pressure on an already thin receiving corps.
The injury news doesn't stop there. Jets rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Junior, one of New York's three first-round picks this past draft, has been placed on injured reserve with a sprained ankle. That's a brutal development for a franchise banking on young talent to turn things around, and Cooper Junior won't be suiting up anytime soon.
On a brighter note, there's history being made in Columbus. Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith etched his name at the top of the Buckeyes' all-time receiving yardage list during Saturday's game against Kent State. Smith is only a sophomore, which makes that record not just impressive but genuinely staggering for anyone watching college football right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
