"When center Mike Pouncey was forced from last weekend’s Dolphins game with a knee injury, it looked like 2015 might turn out to be a bad year for the Pouncey family.
Mike’s twin Maurkice will miss much of the Steelers season after breaking a bone in his ankle and it looked like it could be bad when the Dolphins center had someone crash into his leg while he was standing up during a play. Sunday’s release of J.D. Walton seemed to signal the news wouldn’t be too negative, however, and Pouncey confirmed that the MRI of his knee showed no serious damage.
“Yeah, definitely, it always is [a relief] when you go through evaluations on stuff like that,” Pouncey said in comments distributed by the team. “Everything came back good, so I’m ready to go.”
Pouncey practiced on Monday, so the level of concern about aggravating the injury is pretty low and all is on track for Pouncey to be snapping the ball in Week One."
