Rookie OT Chris Scott Hurts Foot, to Have Surgery Wednesday

Maybe the Steelers should just start the season before everyone gets hurt. A day after they lost Willie Colon for the year, now there’s more bad news on the line, this time about OT Chris Scott.

The team announced today that Scott hurt his foot last week during a training session at the University of Tennessee and will have to have surgery Wednesday.

At this point it’s an unknown if Scott will be able to play this year or not.

“Rookie offensive lineman Chris Scott suffered a foot injury while working out at the University of Tennessee last week,” Steelers director of football operations Kevin Colbert said. “As stated earlier, Willie Colon suffered an Achilles injury while working out on Monday. Both were evaluated by Steelers’ medical personnel today and they are scheduled for surgery on Wednesday. We will have further information regarding both once we know the results of each of their surgeries.”

Scott had recently signed a three-year contract that included a signing bonus just over $140,000.
