Just like that the Steelers are losing in the pre-season as the hole objective in "Fake Games" 2K15 is to have all 22 starters escape August meaningless football without injury. The Black and Yellow did that in their first two games versus the Vikes and Jags and now comes this.

In the first frame of the Steelers vs Packers Center Maurkice Pouncey was blocking down field and was hit by Packers DE Julius Peppers as Packers Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was making the tackle on Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell. Clinton-Dix subsequently rolled up on Pouncey's left ankle while making the play and we have a fractured ankle. Twin missed all of 2013 with a Torn ACL and MCL as he played in all but one game last season.

Then on defense it was "Friendly Fire" as Steelers Safety Shamarko Thomas trying to make a tackle hits Steelers DE Stephon Tuitt on the left ankle and he went down. Tuitt who is not expected to miss maybe even the Regular Season will be out most of Training Camp or what is left of it.

Looking ahead let's take a look at both the Steelers O-Line Depth and D-Line Depth as Twin #53 and Tuitt will be sidelined:

#Black&Yellow O-Line Depth Chart 2K15

O-Line Starters

LT K. Beachum
LG R. Foster
C Cody Wallace (Twin #53)
RG D. DeCastro
RT M. Gilbert

2nd Wave

LT M. Adams
LG C. Hubbard
C BJ Finney (2015 Undrafted K-State)
RG M. Dieffenbach
RT A. Villanueva

#SteelerGang D-Line Depth Chart 2K15

D-Line Starters (3-4)

LDE C. Heyward
NT S. McClendon
RDE Joe Kruger (S. Tuitt)

2nd Wave

LDE C. Thomas
NT D. McCullers
RDE Leteriius Walton (2K15 6th Rd Pick C. Michigan)

Steelers with Wallace having the only real experience behind Twin #53 and a rookie behind him might try and locate a Vet Center with some experience to go behind Wallace.

On the D-Line they could easily move Cam Thomas maybe to start RDE moving from LDE. Kruger who should and most likely move up is the younger brother of former Ravens now Dawg Pound DE Paul Kruger and how 'bout them Primanti's Brothers Samiches!
